Abstract:

A series of vanadium(Ⅲ) complexes 2a2e bearing pyridyldiimine, pyridyl-imineamine and pyridyldiamine ligands was designed, synthesized, and characterized by IR and elemental analysis. Upon treatment with Et2AlCl and CCl3COOEt(ETA), these catalysts displayed high catalytic activity towards ethylene polymerization even at elevated reaction temperature, affording polymers with high relative molecular mass and unimodal relative molecular mass distributions, indicating the formation of a single active site during the polymerization. It was found that ligands structures exerted great influence on the polymerization behavior. Complex 2e(2, 6-bis[2, 6-(iPr)2PhNC(Me)]2(C5H3N)VCl) supported by dianionic pyridyldiamine showed an activity of 6.96 kg PE/(mmolV·h) at 50 ℃ and the activity was well kept at the elevated temperature(70 ℃). Efficient copolymerization of ethylene with NBE or 1-hexene was also observed. Poly(ethylene-co-NBE) with the NBE content up to 37.7% was obtained by complex 2e under mild condition, and the incorporation of 4.8% 1-hexene was observed in poly(ethylene-co-1-hexene) by complex 2d.
