[PMID: 37375408 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28124852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Four examples of N,N-bis(aryl)butane-2,3-diimine-nickel(II) bromide complexes, [ArN=C(Me)-C(Me)=NAr]NiBr2 (where Ar = 2-(C5H9)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2 (Ni1), Ar = 2-(C6H11)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2 (Ni2), 2-(C8H15)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2 (Ni3) and 2-(C12H23)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2 (Ni4)), disparate in the ring size of the ortho-cycloalkyl substituents, were prepared using a straightforward one-pot synthetic method. The molecular structures of Ni2 and Ni4 highlight the variation in the steric hindrance of the ortho-cyclohexyl and -cyclododecyl rings exerted on the nickel center, respectively. By employing EtAlCl2, Et2AlCl or MAO as activators, Ni1-Ni4 displayed moderate to high activity as catalysts for ethylene polymerization, with levels falling in the order Ni2 (cyclohexyl) > Ni1 (cyclopentyl) > Ni4 (cyclododecyl) > Ni3 (cyclooctyl). Notably, cyclohexyl-containing Ni2/MAO reached a peak level of 13.2 × 106 g(PE) of (mol of Ni)-1 h-1 at 40 °C, yielding high-molecular-weight (ca. 1 million g mol-1) and highly branched polyethylene elastomers with generally narrow dispersity. The analysis of polyethylenes with 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed branching density between 73 and 104 per 1000 carbon atoms, with the run temperature and the nature of the aluminum activator being influential; selectivity for short-chain methyl branches (81.8% (EtAlCl2); 81.1% (Et2AlCl); 82.9% (MAO)) was a notable feature. The mechanical properties of these polyethylene samples measured at either 30 °C or 60 °C were also evaluated and confirmed that crystallinity (Xc) and molecular weight (Mw) were the main factors affecting tensile strength and strain at break (εb = 353-861%). In addition, the stress-strain recovery tests indicated that these polyethylenes possessed good elastic recovery (47.4-71.2%), properties that align with thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

Abstract
The following family of N,N-diaryl-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadienes, ArN[double bond, length as m-dash]C(Me)C(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]NAr (Ar = 2,6-Me2-4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}C6H2L1, 2-Me-6-Et-4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}C6H2L2, 2,4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}2-6-MeC6H2L3, 2,4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}2-6-EtC6H2L4, 2,4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}2-6-iPrC6H2L5), each incorporating para-substituted 4,4-difluorobenzhydryl groups but differing in the ortho-pairing, have been synthesized and used as precursors to their respective nickel(ii) bromide complexes, Ni1-Ni5. Compound characterization has been achieved through a combination of FT-IR, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 19F) and elemental analysis. In addition, L1, Ni1 and Ni5 have been structurally characterized with Ni1 and Ni5 revealing similarly distorted tetrahedral geometries about nickel but with distinct differences in the steric protection offered by the ortho-substituents. All nickel complexes, under suitable activation, showed high activity for ethylene polymerization with a predilection towards forming branched high molecular weight polyethylene with narrow dispersity. Notably the most sterically bulky Ni5, under activation with either EtAlCl2, Et2AlCl or EASC, was exceptionally active (0.9-1.0 × 107 g of PE per (mol of Ni) per h) at an operating temperature of 40 °C. Furthermore, the polyethylene generated displayed molecular weights close to one million g mol-1 (M w range: 829-922 kg mol-1) with high branching densities (86-102/1000 carbons) and a selectivity for short chain branches (% Me = 94.3% (EtAlCl2), 87.2% (Et2AlCl), 87.7% (EASC)). Further analysis of the mechanical properties of the polymers produced at 40 °C and 50 °C using Ni5 highlighted the key role played by crystallinity (X c) and molecular weight (M w) on tensile strength (σ b) and elongation at break (ε b). In addition, stress-strain recovery tests reveal these high molecular weight polymers to exhibit characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

Abstract
Branched polyethylene (B-PE) elastomer was investigated for its potential medical application as a tarsus construct. The in vitro results showed that the B-PE and processed B-PE films or scaffolds did not exhibit noticeable cytotoxicity to the NIH3T3 fibroblasts and human vascular endothelial cells (ECs). The B-PE scaffolds with a pore size of 280–480 µm were prepared by using a gelatin porogen-leaching method. The porous scaffolds implanted subcutaneously in rats exhibited mild inflammatory response, collagen deposition and fast fibrovascularization, suggesting their good biocompatibility. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed low expression of pro-inflammatory genes and up-regulated expressions of collagen deposition and vascularization-related genes, validating the results of historical evaluation in a molecular level. The B-PE scaffolds and Medpor controls were transplanted in rabbits with eyelid defects. The B-PE scaffolds exhibited a similar elastic modulus and provided desirable repair effects with mild fibrous capsulation, less eyelid deformities, and were well integrated with the fibrovascular tissue compared with the Medpor controls.

Abstract
A new set of five unsymmetrical N,N'-diiminoacenaphthenes, 1-[2,6-{(4-FC6H4)2CH}2-4-NO2C6H4N]-2-(ArN)C2C10H6 (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3L1, 2,6-Et2C6H3L2, 2,6-iPr2C6H3L3, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2L4, 2,6-Et2-4-MeC6H2L5), have been synthesized and used to prepare their corresponding nickel(ii) halide complexes, LNiBr2 (Ni1-Ni5) and LNiCl2 (Ni6-Ni10). The molecular structures of Ni3(OH2) and Ni4 reveal distorted square pyramidal and tetrahedral geometries, respectively, while the 1H NMR spectra of all the nickel(ii) (S = 1) complexes show broad paramagnetically shifted peaks. Upon activation with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or ethylaluminum sesquichloride (Et3Al2Cl2, EASC), Ni1-Ni10 displayed very high activities for ethylene polymerization with the optimal performance being observed using 2,6-dimethyl-containing Ni1 in combination with EASC (1.66 × 107 g PE mol-1 (Ni) h-1 at 50 °C) which produced high molecular weight plastomeric polyethylene (Mw = 3.93 × 105 g mol-1, Tm = 70.6 °C) with narrow dispersity (Mw/Mn = 2.97). Moreover, Ni1/EASC showed good thermal stability by operating effectively at an industrially relevant 80 °C with a level of activity (6.01 × 106 g of PE mol-1 (Ni) h-1) that exceeds previously disclosed N,N'-nickel catalysts under comparable reaction conditions. This improved thermal stability and activity has been ascribed to the combined effects imparted by the para-nitro and fluoride-substituted benzhydryl ortho-substituents.

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 family of six unsymmetrical N,N'-diiminoacenaphthene-nickel(ii) bromide complexes, [1-{2,6-(Ph2CH)2-4-MeC6H2N}-2-(ArN)C2C10H6]NiBr2 (Ar = 2-(C6H11)-6-MeC6H2Ni1, 2-(C5H9)-6-MeC6H2Ni2, 2-(C8H15)-6-MeC6H2Ni3, 2-(C6H11)-4,6-Me2C6H2Ni4, 2-(C5H9)-4,6-Me2C6H2Ni5, 2-(C8H15)-4,6-Me2C6H2Ni6), each bearing one ring-size variable 4-R-2-methyl-6-cycloalkyl-substituted N-aryl group and one N'-4-methyl-2,6-dibenzhydrylphenyl group, have been prepared and fully characterized. The molecular structures of Ni1, Ni2, Ni3 and Ni5 reveal distorted tetrahedral geometries with different degrees of steric protection imparted by the two inequivalent N-aryl groups. On activation with either EASC or MMAO, all the precatalysts are highly active (up to 17.45 × 106 g PE mol-1 (Ni) h-1) for ethylene polymerization at 20-50 °C with their activities correlating with the type of cycloalkyl ortho-substituent: cyclooctyl (Ni6, Ni3) > the cyclopentyl (Ni5, Ni2) > cyclohexyl (Ni4, Ni1) for either R = H or Me. Moderately branched to hyperbranched polyethylenes (Tm's as low as 44.2 °C) can be obtained with molecular weights in the range 2.14-6.68 × 105 g mol-1 with the branching content enhanced by the temperature of the polymerization. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and monotonic tensile stress-strain tests have been employed on the polyethylene samples and reveal the more branched materials to show good elastic recovery properties (up to 75.5%).
