摘要:
The invention encompasses late transition metal catalyst systems immobilized on solid supports and their use in heterogenous polymerization processes, particularly in gas phase polymerization of olefin monomers. Preferred embodiments include a late transition metal catalyst system comprising a Group 9, 10, or 11 metal complex stabilized by a bidentate ligand structure immobilized on a solid porous metal or metalloid oxide particle support, particularly those comprising silica. The gas phase polymerization process for olefin monomers comprises contacting one or more olefins with these catalyst systems under gas phase polymerization conditions.
摘要:
A late transition metal catalyst system for polymerization of olefin monomers is a Group 9, 10 or 11 metal complex stabilized by a bidentate ligand immobilized on a solid support where the late transition metal loading is less than 100 micromoles transition metal compound per gram of solid support. The bidentate ligand has the formula: wherein A is a bridging group containing a Group 13-15 element; each E is independently a Group 15 or 16 element bonded to M; each R is independently a C1-C30 containing radical or diradical group which is a hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, halocarbyl, substituted halocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted organometalloid, halocarbyl-substituted organometalloid, m and n are independently 1 or 2 depending on the valency of E; and p is the charge on the bidentate ligand.
摘要:
An activated tridentate-, monoanionic-ligand-based transition metal catalyst in a reduced oxidation state for olefin polymerization is disclosed. Transition metal catalyst precursors for these catalysts have the formulae: in which M is a transition metal from Groups 4-9 in a reduced oxidation state, X is a mono anionic ligand, L is a neutral donor group, E is a neutral donor group from Groups 15 and 16, E′ is a monoanionic donor group from Group 15, T is a bridging group, n is 1-3 as needed to balance the charge on M, p is 0-3 and q is 1-2. Olefin polymerization is exemplified.
