Abstract
The cobalt(II) chloride N,N,N-pincer complexes, [2-{(2,4-(C15H13)2-6-FC6H2)N=CMe}-6-(ArN=CMe)C5H3N]CoCl2 (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3) (Co1), 2,6-Et2C6H3 (Co2), 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 (Co3), 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (Co4), 2,6-Et2-4-MeC6H2 (Co5), and [2,6-{(2,4-(C15H13)2-6-FC6H2)N=CMe}2C5H3N]CoCl2 (Co6), each containing at least one N-2,4-bis(dibenzosuberyl)-6-fluorophenyl group, were synthesized in good yield from their corresponding unsymmetrical (L1–L5) and symmetrical bis(imino)pyridines (L6). The molecular structures of Co1 and Co2 spotlighted their distorted square pyramidal geometries (τ5 value range: 0.23–0.29) and variations in steric hindrance offered by the dissimilar N-aryl groups. On activation with either MAO or MMAO, Co1–Co6 all displayed high activities for ethylene polymerization, with levels falling in the order: Co1 > Co4 > Co5 > Co2 > Co3 > Co6. Indeed, the least sterically hindered 2,6-dimethyl Co1 in combination with MAO exhibited a very high activity of 1.15 × 107 g PE mol−1 (Co) h−1 at the operating temperature of 70 °C, which dropped by only 15% at 80 °C and 43% at 90 °C. Vinyl-terminated polyethylenes of high linearity and narrow dispersity were generated by all catalysts, with the most sterically hindered, Co3 and Co6, producing the highest molecular weight polymers [Mw range: 30.26–33.90 kg mol−1 (Co3) and 42.90–43.92 kg mol−1 (Co6)]. In comparison with structurally related cobalt catalysts, it was evident that the presence of the N-2,4-bis(dibenzosuberyl)-6-fluorophenyl groups had a limited effect on catalytic activity but a marked effect on thermal stability.

Catalytic Performance of Cobalt(II) Polyethylene Catalysts with Sterically Hindered Dibenzopyranyl Substituents Studied by Experimental and MLR Methods. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27175455. [PMID: 36080222 PMCID: PMC9458042 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27175455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Given the great importance of cobalt catalysts supported by benchmark bis(imino)pyridine in the (oligo)polymerization, a series of dibenzopyran-incorporated symmetrical 2,6-bis(imino) pyridyl cobalt complexes (Co1–Co5) are designed and prepared using a one-pot template approach. The structures of the resulting complexes are well characterized by a number of techniques. After activation with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified MAO (MMAO), the complexes Co1–Co4 are highly active for ethylene polymerization with a maximum activity of up to 7.36 × 106 g (PE) mol−1 (Co) h−1 and produced highly linear polyethylene with narrow molecular weight distributions, while Co5 is completely inactive under the standard conditions. Particularly, complex Co3 affords polyethylene with high molecular weights of 85.02 and 79.85 kg mol−1 in the presence of MAO and MMAO, respectively. The 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed the existence of vinyl end groups in the resulting polyethylene, highlighting the predominant involvement of the β-H elimination reaction in the chain-termination process. To investigate the mechanism underlying the variation of catalytic activities as a function of substituents, multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis was performed, showing the key role of open cone angle (θ) and effective net charge (Q) on catalytic activity.

Abstract
A series of cobalt complexes with bis(imino)pyridine derivatives featuring unsymmetrical substitution with bulky groups has been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures of two representatives have been determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, revealing distorted tetrahedral geometry with different degrees of steric hindrance imparted by the two inequivalent aryl groups attached to the imine nitrogen atoms. On activation with either MAO or MMAO, these complexes display high activity toward ethylene polymerization, reaching 8.71 × 106 g of PE (mol of Co)−1 h−1 at 60 °C and produce polyethylene of high molecular weight (Mw = 5.27 × 105 g mol−1) and low dispersity. The presence of the methoxy-substituent noticeably enhances the activity of the cobalt catalyst and increases the molecular weight of the resultant polyethylene. Employing ligands with 4,4′-dimethoxybenzhydryl groups, the cobalt precatalysts display high activities toward ethylene polymerization and produce highly linear polyethylenes, the high density polyethylene (HDPE).![]()

Abstract
A family of unsymmetrical 2-(2,4-bis(di(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)-6-MeC6H2N)-6-(1-(arylimino)ethyl)pyridine-cobalt dichloride complexes has been synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction for Co2 and Co4. Activated with either MAO or MMAO, all the cobalt precatalysts displayed high activities toward ethylene polymerization and produced highly linear polyethylenes with high molecular weights as well as wide polydispersities; for example, the performance using Co1/MAO at 50 °C reached 9.17 × 106 g PE (mol of Co)−1 h−1 with the production polyethylene of molecular weight as high as Mw = 3.14 × 105 g mol−1, Tm = 134.3 °C besides its wide polydispersity of Mw/Mn of 54.6. Besides the terminal vinyl group of the resultant polyethylenes, it is rare for a late-transition metal catalyst to achieve highly linear polyethylenes with not only wide polydispersity but also high molecular weights, being similar to high-density polyethylenes produced using Phillips catalyst. Introducing a practical application of N,N,N-Co precatalysts for highly linear polyethylenes with wide polydispersity and high molecular weights, targeting HDPE using Phillips catalyst.![]()

Abstract
The α,α'-bis(imino)-2,3:5,6-bis(pentamethylene)pyridyl-cobalt(ii) chlorides, [2,3:5,6-{C4H8C(N(2-R1-4-R3-6-R2C6H2))}2C5HN] CoCl2 (R1 = Me, R2 = R3 = CH(p-FPh)2Co1; R1 = Et, R2 = R3 = CH(p-FPh)2Co2; R1 = i-Pr, R2 = R3 = CH(p-FPh)2Co3; R1 = Cl, R2 = R3 = CH(p-FPh)2Co4; R1 = F, R2 = R3 = CH(p-FPh)2Co5; R1 = F, R2 = R3 = CHPh2Co5'', R1 = R2 = Me, R3 = CH(p-FPh)2Co6; R1 = R3 = Me, R2 = CH(p-FPh)2Co7), have been synthesized by a one-pot template reaction of α,α'-dioxo-2,3:5,6-bis(pentamethylene)pyridine, cobalt(ii) chloride and the respective aniline in n-butanol. By contrast, the mixed cobalt(ii) chloride/acetate complex, [2,3:5,6-{C4H8C(N(2-F-4,6-(CH(p-FPh)2)2C6H2))}2C5HN]CoCl(OAc) (Co5'), was isolated when the corresponding template reaction was carried out in acetic acid. Structural characterization of Co4, Co5 and Co5'' revealed distorted square pyramidal geometries while six-coordinate Co5', incorporating a chelating acetate ligand, exhibited a distorted octahedral geometry. On activation with either MAO or MMAO, 2-fluoride-4,6-bis{di(p-fluorophenyl)methyl}-substituted Co5 showed maximum catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization at a high operating temperature of 60 °C (up to 2.1 × 107 g (PE) mol-1 (Co) h-1), producing highly linear (Tms > 121 °C), low molecular weight polyethylene waxes (Mw range: 1.5-5.0 kg mol-1) with narrow dispersity (Mw/Mn range: 1.7-2.9). End-group analysis of the waxes reveals β-H elimination as the dominant chain transfer process.

Activity and Thermal Stability of Cobalt(II)-Based Olefin Polymerization Catalysts Adorned with Sterically Hindered Dibenzocycloheptyl Groups. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24102007.

Abstract
Five examples of unsymmetrical 2-(2,4-bis(dibenzocycloheptyl)-6-methylphenyl- imino)ethyl)-6-(1-(arylyimino)ethyl)pyridine derivatives (aryl = 2,6-Me2C6H3 in L1; 2,6-Et2C6H3 in L2; 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 in L3; 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 in L4 and 2,6-Et2-4-MeC6H2 in L5) were prepared and characterized. Treatment with CoCl2 offered the corresponding cobalt precatalysts Co1–Co5, which were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis. The molecular structures of Co3 and Co4 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed distorted square pyramidal geometries with τ5 values of 0.052–0.215. Activated with either MAO or MMAO, the precatalysts displayed high activities in ethylene polymerization, where Co1 with the least bulky substituents exhibited a peak activity of 1.00 × 107 g PE mol−1 (Co) h−1 at 60 °C. With MAO as a cocatalyst, the activity was reduced only by one order of magnitude at 90 °C, which implies thermally stable active sites. The polymerization product was highly linear polyethylene with vinyl end groups. Co3 with the most sterically hindered active sites was capable of generating polyethylene of high molecular weight, reaching 6.46 × 105 g mol−1. Furthermore, high melting point and unimodal molecular weight distribution were observed in the resulting polyethylene. It must be stressed that the thermal stability of the catalyst and the molecular weight of the obtained polyethylene attain the highest values reported for the unsymmetrical 2,6-bis(imino)pyridylcobalt (II) chloride precatalysts.

Abstract
The two-dimensional and three-dimensional quantitative structure-property relationship (2D- and 3D-QSPR) approaches are applied to investigate the catalytic performance for a total data set of 55 bis(imino)pryridine iron and cobalt complexes, including the catalytic activity, molecular weight, and melting temperature of the product. The obtained models for the catalytic performance of interest exhibit good results by both 2D- and 3D-QSPR modeling, meanwhile higher predictive and validation powers observed in the 3D type. The modeling results indicate that the bulky substituents on ortho-position of the singular side phenyl ring and positive charge on para-position of the phenyl ring within the ligand are favorable to catalytic activity, while unfavorable to the molecular weight of product. Based on the obtained QSPR models, four new complexes are designed and predicted with good catalytic activity and very high molecular weight, which are in good agreement with our recent experimental report. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The physical properties and end applications of polyolefin materials are defined by their chain architectures and topologies. These properties can, in part, be controlled by a judicious choice of the steric and electronic properties of the catalyst and, in particular, the ligand framework. One major achievement in this field is the discovery of thermoplastic polyolefin elastomers that combine the processing and recyclable characteristics of thermoplastics with the flexibility and ductility of elastomers. These polymers are highly sought after as alternative materials to thermoset elastomers. In this perspective, works in the literature related to the development of nickel catalysts as well as their implementations for the synthesis of polyolefin elastomers are summarized in detail. Throughout the perspective, attention has been focused on developing the relationship between catalyst structure and performance, on strategies for the synthesis of polyolefin elastomer using nickel catalysts, on properties of the resultant polyolefin, such as degree of branching and crystallinity, as well as on their effects on mechanical properties. The future perspective regarding the most recent developments in single-step production of polyethylene elastomers will also be presented.

Abstract
A new family of nickel halides (bromides Ni1-Ni5 and chlorides Ni6-Ni10) ligated by 1-(2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-nitrophenylimino)-2-(arylimino)acenaphthylene (Aryl = 2,6-Me2C6H3L1, 2,6-Et2C6H3L2, 2,6-iPr2C6H3L3, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2L4, and 2,6-Et2-4-MeC6H2L5) have been prepared and well characterized, and the scope of their catalytic properties toward the polymerization of ethylene has been investigated. Upon activation with either Et2AlCl or EASC, the nickel bromide complexes displayed better activities than their nickel chloride counterparts and produced higher-molecular-weight polyethylene in the range of 106 g mol-1 with a very narrow range of molecular weight distributions. In comparison with reference precatalysts with non-nitro substituents (CH3, F or Cl), the title complexes experienced a modest negative effect on catalytic activity upon replacement with a NO2 moiety (activity up to 4.61 × 106 g PE (mol Ni)-1 h-1 at 20 °C). Conversely, the NO2 moiety exerted a positive effect to increase the molecular weight of the resulting polyethylene, and Ni4/Et2AlCl gave polyethylene with a maximum molecular weight of as high as 32.8 × 105 g mol-1, which is not only the highest among the title complexes but also higher than any literature values reported with 1,2-diiminoacenaphthylnickel halides.
