Remarkable effects of SiMe and SiEt para-substituents in the phenoxide-modified half-titanocenes, Cp*TiCl (O-2,6- Pr -4-R-C H ) [R=SiMe (6), SiEt (7)], toward the catalytic activities in ethylene copolymerizations with 2-methyl-1-pentene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene and with 9-decen-1-ol (DC-OH) have been demonstrated. The activities by 6, 7 at 50 °C showed higher than those conducted at 25 °C in all cases in the presence of MAO cocatalyst. Efficient synthesis of high-molecular-weight (HMW) ethylene copolymers incorporating DC-OH (or 5-hexen-1-ol, HX-OH) has been attained in the copolymerization by 7, which showed better DC-OH (HX-OH) incorporation at 50 °C to afford the HMW copolymers, poly(ethylene-co-DC-OH)s, with high activities (activity 1.21-3.81×10 kg-polymer mol -Ti h, M =6.55-10.0×10 , DC-OH 2.3-3.6 mol %).
已证明,在苯氧基修饰的半钛茂化合物Cp*TiCl(O-2,6-Pr-4-R-C6H) [R = SiMe (6),SiEt (7)]中,SiMe和SiEt对位取代基对与2-甲基-1-戊烯、1-癸烯、1-十二碳烯以及与9-癸烯-1-醇(DC-OH)进行乙烯共聚反应的催化活性具有显著影响。在MAO助催化剂存在下,6和7在50°C时的活性在所有情况下均高于25°C时的活性。通过7进行的共聚反应实现了高效合成包含DC-OH(或5-己烯-1-醇,HX-OH)的高分子量(HMW)乙烯共聚物,其在50°C时表现出更好的DC-OH(HX-OH)掺入率,从而以高活性(活性为1.21 - 3.81×10³ kg-聚合物·mol⁻¹-Ti·h,M = 6.55 - 10.0×10⁴,DC-OH 2.3 - 3.6 mol%)得到HMW共聚物聚(乙烯-co-DC-OH)s。
