摘要:
A solid compound of a transition metal is ground in the presence of aluminium chloride, titanium tetrachloride and at least one organo-Lewis Base compound. The transition metal compound is typically titanium trichloride. The Lewis Base compound is an organo-phosphorus compound, preferably one which also contains nitrogen, such as 2-dimethylamino-1,3-dimethyl-1,3,2-diazaphospholidine-2-oxide or an organo-sulphur compound such as diphenyl sulphone. The solid compound of the transition metal may include aluminium chloride and if the amount of this aluminium chloride is at least 50% molar, there is no need to make a separate addition of aluminium chloride to the mixture which is ground. The ground product can be used as a component of an olefine polymerization catalyst.

according to the present invention (1) a titanium trihalide is ground in the presence of from 5 up to 75% molar, relative to the titanium trihalide, of (2) a Lewis Base compound which is an organo-phosphorus compound of the formulaR.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 P(O).sub.aand either (a) from 1 up to 50% molar, relative to the titanium trihalide, of a titanium tetrahalide and/or (b) from 0.2 up to 50% molar, relative to the titanium trihalide, of an oxidizing agent, wherein when a titanium tetrahalide is present, the molar quantity of the organo-phosphorus compound is at least equal to the molar quantity of the titanium tetrahalide.The titanium halides (1) and (a) are preferably the chlorides. Suitable forms of titanium trichloride are obtained by the reduction of titanium tetrachloride with hydrogen, titanium metal, aluminum metal or an organo-aluminium compound. It is preferred to use a material of the type, titanium trichloride/aluminium chloride, such as is obtainable by the reduction of titanium tetrachloride with aluminium metal.In the organo-phosphorus compound, R.sub.1 is conveniently an alkyl group containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms. The groups R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 can be alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl or aralkyl groups. Preferably, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are both alkyl groups and preferably R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are all the same, for example, butyl as in tributylphosphine and tributylphosphine oxide.Suitable oxidizing agents include oxygen gas or halogen-containing materials such as chlorine gas, carbon tetrachloride, hexachlorocyclopentadiene, stannic chloride, phosphorus pentachloride and iodine.The product produced by grinding (1), (2) and either (a) and/or (b) above may be admixed with (A) to form an olefin polymerization catalyst, wherein(A) is at least one organo-metallic compound of aluminium or of a non-transition metal of Group IIA of the Periodic System, or a complex of an organo-metallic compound of a non-transition metal of Group IA or IIA of the Periodic System and an organo-aluminium compound. That polymerization catalyst may be modified by the addition of a Lewis Base which is effective to modify the stereospecificity of the catalyst and/or a substituted or unsubstituted polyene.
