摘要:
A catalyst precursor having the formula: AqMLn wherein each A has formula (I); M is a metal selected from the group consisting of Group 3 to 13 elements and Lanthanide series elements; each L is a monovalent, bivalent, or trivalent anion; X and Y are each heteroatoms; Cyclo is a cyclic moiety; each R1 is independently a group containing 1 to 50 atoms selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and Group 13 to 17 elements, and two or more adjacent R1 groups may be joined to form a cyclic moiety; each R2 is independently a group containing 1 to 50 atoms selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and Group 13 to 17 elements, and two or more adjacent R2 groups may be joined to form a cyclic moiety; Q is a bridging group; each m is independently an integer from 0 to 5; n is an integer from 1 to 4; q is 1 or 2; and when q is 2, the A groups are optionally connected by a bridging group Z is provided. The catalyst precursor may be made by reacting an organometal compound with a heteroatom-containing ligand. The catalyst precursor, when combined with an activating cocatalyst, is useful for the polymerization of olefins.
摘要:
The inventions disclosed herein are new complexes and catalysts comprising metal-ligand complexes or compositions of metal precursors and ligands (and optionally activators) that catalyze polymerization and copolymerization reactions, particularly with monomers that are olefins, diolefins or acetylenically unsaturated monomers. These compositions can also polymerize monomers that have polar functionalities in homopolymerizations or copolymerizations. Also, diolefins in combination with ethylene or α-olefins or 1,1-disubstituted olefins may be co-polymerized. The new catalyst compositions can be prepared by combining a metal precursor with a suitable ligand and, optionally, an activator or combination of activators. The main feature of this invention is the use of new metal ligand complexes to provide the active polymerization catalysts.
