Abstract:

A series of alkenyl-functionalized bis(imidate)pyridine vanadium V(Ⅲ) complexes was synthesized and used for olefin polymerization in a self-immobilization mode. All the complexes were well-characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR), elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR). Being activated by ethylaluminum sesquichloride(EASC), the V(Ⅲ) complexes displayeded high activity in ethylene polymerization(7.2~12.1 g/(mol·h·Pa)). Additionally, the length of self-immobilized alkenyl chains showed a little influence on the catalytic activity of the precatalysts. These V(Ⅲ) complexes also exhibited high activity in initiating ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization, affordiong copolymer products with high molecular weight(up to 68.1×103). Scanning electron microscope(SEM) studies showed that the polymer products formed platelet clusters.

Key words: self-immobilization, vanadium precatalyst, polyolefin
