Novel asymmetric silicon-bridged metallocenes useful as catalysts in the polymerization of olefins and process for preparing said metallocenes. The novel metallocenes are represented by the general formula (I): (SiR′R″)(Cp)(Cp′)MXX′ (I) wherein Cp is a partially or fully hydrogenated fluorenyl moiety selected from those of formula (II) and (III) Cp′ is an indenyl group selected from those of formula (IV) M represents a transition metal selected from Ti, Zr and Hf, X and X′ represent, same or different from each other, a halogen atom, R1, R2 and R3 are, same or different from each other, an alkyl group containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms, an aryl group containing from 6 to 10 carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom, (SiR′R″) is a divalent group which bridges the two groups Cp and Cp′ repectively on position 9 and 1, R′ and R″ are, same or different from each other, an alkyl or aryl group containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Process for producing said metallocenes and process for the polymerization of &agr;-olefins such as ethylene and propylene by means of said metallocenes.
摘要:
Asymmetric silicon-bridged metallocenes represented by the general formula: wherein M represents a transition metal selected from Ti, Zr and Hf. X and X′ represent a halogen atom, R1, R2, R3 represent alkyl groups containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms, providing that at least two of R1, R2, R3 are alkyl groups, and R4 and R5 represent alkyl or aryl group containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms. A process for their preparation and polymerization of olefins in the presence of the asymmetric silicon-bridged metallocenes are disclosed.
摘要:
Novel asymmetric ethylene-bridged metallocenes useful as catalysts in the polymerization of olefins and process for preparing said metallocenes.The novel metallocenes are represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein M represents a transition metal selected from titanium, zirconium and hafnium and X and X' represent a halogen atom. Preferably, the transition metal is Zr and the halogen atoms are both chlorine.Process for producing the novel metallocenes of general formula (I) comprising the steps of:a) reacting fluorenyllithium with 1,2-dibromoethane to produce 1-(9-fluorenyl)-2-bromoethane,b) reacting the said 1-(9-fluorenyl)-2-bromoethane with 2,4,7-trimethylindenyllithium to produce 1-(9-fluorenyl)-2-[1-(2,4,7-trimethyl)indenyl]ethane precursor,c) reacting the said 1-(9-fluorenyl)-2-[1-(2,4,7-trimethyl)indenyl]ethane precursor with butyllithium to produce its dilithium salt andd) reacting the said dilithium salt with a transition metal halide selected from halides of Ti, Zr and Hf to produce the metallocenes.The novel metallocenes are useful as catalysts for the polymerization of olefins such as ethylene and propylene and, in particular, for the production of higly isotactic polypropylene.
