Quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) modeling is performed to investigate the role of cycloalkyl-fused rings on the catalytic performance of 46 aryliminopyridyl nickel precatalysts. The catalytic activities for nickel complexes in ethylene polymerization are well-predicted by the obtained 2D-QSPR model, exploring the main contribution from the charge distribution of negatively charged atoms. Comparatively, 3D-QSPR models show better predictive and validation capabilities than that of 2D-QSPR for both catalytic activity (Act.) and the molecular weight of the product (Mw). Three-dimensional contour maps illustrate the predominant effect of a steric field on both catalytic properties; smaller sizes of cycloalkyl-fused rings are favorable to Act.y, whereas they are unfavorable to Mw. This study may provide assistance in the design of a new nickel complex with high catalytic performance.

AbstractTrialkylsilanols were reported to modify and also to improve the catalytic performance in ethylene polymerization when added to zirconocene/methylaluminoxane (MAO) systems. In order to obtain more information about the chemistry involved, a new stable catalytic precursor was investigated in this work. The precursor bis(h5-cyclopentadienyl)bistriphenylsilanolatozirconium(IV) [ZrCp2(OSiPh3)2] was compared to ZrCp2(CH3)2 and ZrCp4, which can generate ZrCp2(OSiPh3)2 in situ on triphenylsilanol addition. In ethylene polymerization, ZrCp2(OSiPh3)2 exibits a comparable activity and a larger stability than dicyclopentadienylzirconium complexes. On addition of triphenylsilanol to zirconocenes, the productivity increased and the molecular weight sharply decreased, thus suggesting the occurrence of ligand substitution in solution. The reported results are discussed with reference to the proposed mechanism of ethylene polymerization with the conventional ZrCp2Cl2/MAO system.
