We demonstrate a method for high-throughput catalyst screening using a parallel pressure reactor starting from the initial synthesis of a nickel α-diimine ethylene polymerization catalyst. Initial polymerizations with the catalyst lead to optimized reaction conditions, including catalyst concentration, ethylene pressure and reaction time. Using gas-uptake data for these reactions, a procedure to calculate the initial rate of propagation (kp) is presented. Using the optimized conditions, the ability of the nickel α-diimine polymerization catalyst to undergo chain transfer with diethylzinc (ZnEt2) during ethylene polymerization was investigated. A procedure to assess the ability of the catalyst to undergo chain transfer (from molecular weight and C NMR data), calculate the degree of chain transfer, and calculate chain transfer rates (ke) is presented.
我们展示了一种使用平行压力反应器进行高通量催化剂筛选的方法,该方法从镍α-二亚胺乙烯聚合催化剂的初始合成开始。用该催化剂进行的初始聚合反应得出了优化的反应条件,包括催化剂浓度、乙烯压力和反应时间。利用这些反应的气体吸收数据,给出了一种计算初始增长速率(kp)的程序。在优化条件下,研究了镍α-二亚胺聚合催化剂在乙烯聚合过程中与二乙基锌(ZnEt2)发生链转移的能力。给出了一种评估催化剂进行链转移的能力(根据分子量和碳核磁共振数据)、计算链转移度以及计算链转移速率(ke)的程序。
