Abstract

V originále

The ethenestyrene copolymerization has been investigated using the dimethylsilylene-bridged (amidocyclopentadienyl)dichlorotitanium( IV) complexes [TiCl2{5-1-(SiMe2Nt-Bu-N)-2,3,4-Me3-5-R-C5}], where R=Me (1), H (2), Bu (3), Ph (4), 4-fluorophenyl (5), and but-2-en-2-yl (6) in combination with methylalumoxane (MAO) as catalysts. The nature of the substituent R strongly influenced the catalyst activity and selectivity and the copolymer microstructure and molecular weight. The catalysts derived from 1 to 3 were by about one order more active than those derived from 4 to 6. At the optimum Al/Ti molar ratio of 900, the highly active catalysts produced a pseudo-random copolymer (9597 wt.%) containing up to 47.8 mol% of incorporated styrene. The low-active catalysts gave mixtures of a pseudo-random copolymer (7685 wt.%) with polyethene (10 wt.%) and polystyrene sequences (37 wt.%). The X-ray diffraction crystal structures of 2 and 4 were determined. Comparison of crystal structures of 1 and 2 versus 4 and 5 revealed a slightly shorter distances TiCg (Cg centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring) and slightly larger ClTiCl angles in 1 and 2, indicating a higher electron density at the titanium atom. An electron attracting effect of phenyl or alkenyl substituents as well as their steric hindrance can account for a low catalytic performance of 46/MAO catalysts.

In Czech

Byla zkoumána kopolymerace etylénu a styrenu pomocí dimethylsilylene-bridged (amidocyclopentadienyl)dichlorotitanium( IV) complexes [TiCl2{5-1-(SiMe2Nt-Bu-N)-2,3,4-Me3-5-R-C5}], kde R=Me (1), H (2), Bu (3), Ph (4), 4-fluorophenyl (5), a but-2-en-2-yl (6). Jako kokatalyzátor byl použit metylaluminoxan (MAO). Povaha substituentu R významně ovlivňovala aktivitu katalytického systému mikrostrukturu kopolymeru a molekulární hmotnost kopolymeru. Katalytické systémy 1 - 3 dosahovaly o řád vyšších aktivit než katalyzátory 4-6. Při optimálním poměru [Al]/[Ti]=900 byl produkován pseudostatistický kopolymer (95-97 wt%) obsahující až 47,8 mol % zabudovaného styrenu. Méně aktivní katalyzátory produkovaly směs pseudostatistického kopolymeru (76-85 wt%) s polyetylénovými (10wt%) a polystyrenovými (3-7wt%) sekvencemi.
