Recently, polyolefin thermoplastic elastomers can be obtained directly using ethylene as a single feedstock via α-diimine nickel-catalyzed ethylene chain walking polymerization. Here, a new range of bulky acenaphthene-based α-diimine nickel complexes with hybrid -phenyl and -diarylmethyl anilines were constructed and applied to ethylene polymerization. All the nickel complexes under the activation of excess EtAlCl exhibited good activity (level of 10 g mol h) and produced polyethylene with high molecular weight (75.6-352.4 kg/mol) as well as proper branching densities (55-77/1000C). All the branched polyethylenes obtained exhibited high strain (704-1097%) and moderate to high stress (7-25 MPa) at break values. Most interestingly, the polyethylene produced by the methoxy-substituted nickel complex exhibited significantly lower molecular weights and branching densities, as well as significantly poorer strain recovery values (48% vs. 78-80%) than those by the other two complexes under the same conditions.
最近,通过α-二亚胺镍催化的乙烯链行走聚合,可以直接将乙烯作为单一原料获得聚烯烃热塑性弹性体。在此,构建了一系列新型的、基于苊的、带有混合 -苯基和 -二芳基甲胺的、体积庞大的α-二亚胺镍配合物,并将其应用于乙烯聚合。所有镍配合物在过量 EtAlCl 的活化下均表现出良好的活性(10 g mol h 的水平),并能得到高分子量(75.6-352.4 kg/mol)和适当支化密度(55-77/1000C)的聚乙烯。所得到的所有支化聚乙烯均表现出高应变(704-1097%)和中等至高的断裂应力(7-25 MPa)值。最有趣的是,在相同条件下,甲氧基取代的镍配合物所制备的聚乙烯分子量和支化密度明显较低,应变恢复值也明显较差(48%对 78-80%)。
