Catalytic Polymerization of Butadiene in Aqueous Systems with Cationic Nickel(II) Complexes

چکیده
The cationic nickel(II) complexes [(η-C3H5)Ni(SbPh3)2][B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)4] (2) and [(η3C3H5)Ni(SbPh3)2][Al(OC(CF3)3)4] (3) were prepared and their polymerization activities in aqueous systems were compared with [(η-C3H5)Ni(η-BHT)][B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)4] (1) (BHT ) 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene). Cispolybutadiene is formed in nonaqueous solution polymerization. The presence of water decreases activity and polymer molecular weight and increases trans incorporation of butadiene units. In emulsion polymerization, stable polymer dispersions can be obtained with complex 2 and 3, respectively. The microstructure is strongly altered by comparison to nonaqueous polymerization. Trans-polybutadiene is formed with activities of up to 1.5 × 103 mol (butadiene) mol (Ni)-1 h-1. The semicrystalline latex particles have sizes of ca. 200 nm, with a monoclinic structure.

Recent advances in the polymerization of butadiene over the last decade
The stereospecific polymerization of conjugated dienes began in 1954 with the first catalysts obtained by combining TiCl4 or TiCl3 with aluminum-alkyls, i.e. the catalytic systems previously employed for ethylene and propylene polymerizations. Subsequently, many other catalytic systems were obtained and examined by a combination of transition metal or lanthanide compounds with appropriate alkyl...
متن کاملIminopyridine-Based Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Their Catalytic Behaviors for 1,3-Butadiene Polymerization
A series of iminopyridine ligated Co(II) (1a–7a) and Ni(II) (1b–7b) complexes were synthesized. The structures of complexes 3a, 4a, 5a, 7a, 5b, and 6b were determined by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Complex 3a formed a chloro-bridged dimer, whereas 4a, 5a, and 7a, having a substituent (4a, 5a: CH3; 7a: Br) at the 6-position of pyridine, producing the solid structures with a single ligand co...

More than 70 million tons of polyethylene and polypropylene are produced annually. The majority is prepared by catalytic polymerization employing Ziegler or Phillips catalysts based on early transition metals. More recently, olefin polymerization by complexes of late transition metals has also received increasing attention. A major motivation is their higher tolerance towards polar reagents due...
