On treatment with 1 equiv of [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4], the scandium half-sandwich bis(alkyl) complex (C5Me4SiMe3)Sc(CH2SiMe3)2(THF) showed extremely high activity (up to 1.36 x 104 kg of sPS/(mol Sc.h)) and syndiospecificity (rrrr > 99%) for the polymerization of styrene at room temperature in toluene. More remarkably, this catalyst system could also effect the syndiospecific copolymerization of styrene with ethylene to yield styrene-ethylene copolymers having syndiotactic styrene-styrene sequences. The styrene content in the copolymers could be easily controlled by changing the styrene feed and could reach higher than 80 mol %. This is the first example of formation of such types of styrene-ethylene copolymers, which are expected to show novel properties.
在用1当量的[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4]处理时,钪半夹心双(烷基)配合物(C5Me4SiMe3)Sc(CH2SiMe3)2(THF)在室温下于甲苯中对苯乙烯聚合表现出极高的活性(高达1.36×104千克间规聚苯乙烯/(摩尔钪·小时))和间同立构规整性(rrrr>99%)。更值得注意的是,该催化剂体系还能实现苯乙烯与乙烯的间同立构共聚,生成具有间同立构苯乙烯 - 苯乙烯序列的苯乙烯 - 乙烯共聚物。通过改变苯乙烯进料,共聚物中的苯乙烯含量可轻松控制,且能达到高于80摩尔%。这是形成此类苯乙烯 - 乙烯共聚物的首个例子,预计其将展现出新颖的性能。
