A series of Cr(III) complexes based on quinoline-cyclopentadienyl ligands with additional hemilabile side arms were prepared and used as single-site catalyst precursors for ethylene polymerization. The additional donor functions interact with the metal centers only after activation with the co-catalyst. Evidence for this comes from DFT-calculations and from the differing behavior of the complexes in ethylene polymerization. All complexes investigated show very high catalytic activity and the additional side arm minimizes chain-transfer reactions, leading to increase of molecular weights of the resulting polymers.

Ethylene polymerization was studied using a variety of iminophosphonamide (PN2) complexes of zirconium. Bis(PN2) dichloride complexes [Ph2P(NR′)2]2ZrX2 (X = Cl; 1a: R′ = p-tolyl; 1b: R′ = Bn; 1c: R′ = C6F5) or dimethyl complexes (X = Me; 2a: R′ = p-tolyl; 2b: R′ = Bn) and cyclopentadienyl(PN2)zirconium dichloride complexes [η5-C5R′′5][R2P(NR′)2]ZrCl2 (3a: R′ = p-tolyl, R = Ph, R′′ = H; 3b: R′ = SiMe3, R = Et, R′′ = H; 3c: R′ = C6F5, R = Ph, R′′ = H; 3e: R′ = 3,5-(CF3)2Ph, R = Ph, R′′ = H; 3f: R′ = 3,5-(CF3)2Ph, R = Ph, R′′ = Me) or dimethyl analogs [η5-C5H5][R2P(NR′)2]ZrMe2 (4a: R′ = p-tolyl, R = Ph; 4b: R′ = SiMe3, R = Et) were evaluated under a range of conditions using methylaluminoxane (PMAO) activator. Complexes 1 and 2 behave as precursors to single-site polymerization catalysts under the conditions studied, while complexes 3 or dialkyls 4 show more complex behavior and formation of poly(ethylene) with a bimodal molecular weight distribution. In contrast, activation of dialkyl complexes 4 with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] and polymerization in the presence of small amounts of PMAO or TIBAL as scavenger, led to single-site behavior. PMAO reacts with the neutral dialkyls via ligand abstraction to produce a number of P-containing species that may explain the multi-site behavior observed when using this activator. Dialkyls 4 react cleanly with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] in haloarene or even dichloromethane solution to furnish the corresponding cationic alkyls 5, which were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Fluxional dinuclear species are formed in the presence of excess dialkyl and these are susceptible to C—H activation to form µ-Me,µ-CH2 complexes one of which could be isolated in pure form. The cationic alkyls initiate the polymerization of 1-hexene at room temperature in chlorobenzene solution, but extensive chain transfer occurs and the systems are not living.Key words: single site, early metal olefin polymerization catalysis.

A series of Ti–pyridyl-phosphinimide complexes of the form Cp′TiX2[NPR2(2-CH2Py)] (Cp′ = Cp, Cp*, R = i-Pr, t-Bu, X = Cl, Me) have been prepared and characterized. These complexes generate ethylene polymerization catalysts upon activation with MAO or B(C6F5)3. The resulting polymers exhibit broad molecular weight distributions. The role of the pyridyl group is discussed in light of stoichiometric reactions of CpTiCl2[NPR2(2-CH2Py)] with B(C6F5)3.Key words: phosphinimide complexes, pyridyl-phosphinimides, olefin polymerization.

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.
