Abstract:

A new hyperbranched bispyridineimine ligand was derived from 1.0 generation hyperbranched macromolecules and 2-chloro-4-methylpyridine through substitution reaction. Multinuclear chromium complex was synthesized from the reaction with chromium(Ⅲ) chloride tetrahydrofuran complex. The structure of hyperbranched bispyridineimine ligand and chromium complex were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer(UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR), and electrospray ionization mass spectrometer(ESI-MS) and elemental analysis. The result accords with what we designed theoretically. The novel hyperbranched chromium complex was evaluated as catalyst precursor in the ethylene oligomerization, using methylaluminoxane(MAO) as an activator. At the same time, we investigated the effects of reaction temperature, ethylene pressure, Al/Cr molar ratio, co-catalysts and solvents on the catalytic activity and product selectivity. The oligomerization results show that the activity of the catalyst is 1.32×105 g/(mol(Cr)·h) and the selectivity for C6 and C8 reaches up to 59.30% at 45 ℃ and 4 MPa, Al/Cr molar ratio of 300 and 7 μmol catalyst loading with MAO as co-catalyst in toluene.
