Abstract
A series of 2-(arylimino)benzylidene-8-arylimino-5,6,7-trihydroquinoline cobalt(II) chlorides (Co1–Co6) containing a fused ring and a more inert phenyl group as the substituent at the imino-C atom has been synthesized using a one-pot synthesis method and fully characterized by FT-IR and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of Co2 and Co5 have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction as having a distorted square pyramidal geometry around a cobalt core with a tridentate N,N,N-chelating ligand and two chlorides. On activation with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), Co1–Co6 exhibited high activities for ethylene polymerization. The least sterically hindered Co2 showed a maximum activity of 16.51 × 106 g (PE) mol−1 (Co) h−1 at a moderate temperature 50 °C. Additionally, ortho-fluoride Co6 was able to maintain a high activity not only at 70 °C but also after 60 min at 50 °C, highlighting its excellent thermal-stability and long catalytic lifetime. The resultant polyethylene showed clearly narrower molecular weight distribution (PDI: 1.3–3.1) than those produced by structurally related cobalt counterparts, indicating the positive influence of benzhydryl substitution on the catalysis. Moreover, the molecular weight (1.7–386.6 kg mol−1) of vinyl- or n-propyl-terminated polyethylene can be finely regulated by controlling polymerization parameters.

Abstract
A set of five related bis(imino)-6,7-dihydro-5H-quinoline-cobalt(ii) complexes, [2-(ArN = CPh)-8-(NAr)-C9H8N]CoCl2 (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3Co1, 2,6-Et2C6H3Co2, 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3Co3, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2Co4, 2,6-Et2-4-MeC6H2Co5), have been synthesized in reasonable yield by the template reaction of cobalt(ii) chloride hexahydrate, 2-benzoyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-quinolin-8-one and the corresponding aniline. The molecular structures of Co1 and Co4 highlight both the differences in the two imino-carbon environments (phenyl-capped chain vs. cyclic) and also the steric properties exerted by the bulky Nimine-aryl groups. On pre-treatment with either modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) or methylaluminoxane (MAO), all complexes proved productive catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene. In particular, Co1/MAO was the most active reaching a very high level of 1.62 × 107 g PE per mol (Co) per h over a 30 minute run time. Owing to the presence of the imino-phenyl substituent, Co1–Co5 were able to exhibit good thermal stability by displaying appreciable catalytic activity at temperatures between 50 and 80 °C, generating polyethylenes with narrow dispersities (Mw/Mn range: 1.66–3.28). In particular, the least sterically bulky precatalysts, Co1 and Co4 formed polyethylene waxes (Mw range: 1.94–5.69 kg per mol) with high levels of vinyl unsaturation as confirmed by high temperature 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy and by IR spectroscopy. Narrowly dispersed PE waxes with high levels of vinyl functionality are produced using the depicted cobalt polymerization catalysts.![]()

Unsymmetrical 2-(1-(2,4-dibenzhydryl-6-fluorophenylimino)ethyl)-6-(1-alkylphenyl-imino)ethyl)pyridine compounds (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3 in L1; 2,6-Et2C6H3 in L2; 2,6- i Pr2C6H3 in L3; 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 in L4; 2,6-Et2-4-Me-C6H2 in L5) were prepared and characterized. The treatment of CoCl2 with the compounds L1-L5 afforded the corresponding cobalt complexes Co1-Co5 in excellent yields. The molecular structures of Co3 and Co4 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing the distorted-square-pyramidal geometry with three nitrogen atoms and two chlorine atoms around the cobalt center. Compared with previous bis(imino)pyridylcobalt analogues, all of the cobalt precatalysts displayed exceptionally higher activities toward ethylene polymerization with 1.32 × 107 g (PE) mol-1 (Co) h-1 at 60 °C in the presence of a co-catalyst MAO or MMAO. These cobalt catalysts produced highly linear polyethylene (PE) waxes with vinyl end groups and low molecular weight (M w up to 8.23 kg mol-1) along with a relatively lower melting point (all-round T ms < 128 °C). The narrow dispersity of resultant polyethylenes indicated the single-site active species of the catalytic system.

Molecules 2020; 25:E5584. [PMID: 33261135 PMCID: PMC7731025 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25235584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
By dealing CrCl3∙3THF with the corresponding ligands (L1-L5), an array of fluoro-substituted chromium (III) chlorides (Cr1-Cr5) bearing 2-[1-(2,4-dibenzhydryl-6-fluoro- phenylimino)ethyl]-6-[1-(arylimino)ethyl]pyridine (aryl = 2,6-Me2Ph Cr1, 2,6-Et2Ph Cr2, 2,6-iPr2Ph Cr3, 2,4,6-Me3Ph Cr4, 2,6-Et2-4-MePh Cr5) was synthesized in good yield and validated via Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Besides the routine characterizations, the single-crystal X-ray diffraction study revealed the solid-state structures of complexes Cr2 and Cr4 as the distorted-octahedral geometry around the chromium center. Activated by either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), all the chromium catalysts exhibited high activities toward ethylene polymerization with the MMAO-promoted polymerizations far more productive than with MAO (20.14 × 106 g (PE) mol-1 (Cr) h-1 vs. 10.03 × 106 g (PE) mol-1 (Cr) h-1). In both cases, the resultant polyethylenes were found as highly linear polyethylene waxes with low molecular weights around 1-2 kg mol-1 and narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD range: 1.68-2.25). In general, both the catalytic performance of the ortho-fluorinated chromium complexes and polymer properties have been the subject of a detailed investigation and proved to be highly dependent on the polymerization reaction parameters (including cocatalyst type and amount, reaction temperature, ethylene pressure and run time).

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
A series of 6-arylimino-2-(2-(1-phenylethyl)naphthalen-1-yl)iminopyridines and their iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes (Fe1–Fe5, Co1–Co5) were synthesized and routinely characterized as were Co3 and Co5 complexes, studied by single crystal X-ray crystallography, which individually displayed a distorted square pyramidal or trigonal bipyramid around a cobalt center. Upon treatment with either methyluminoxane (MAO) or modified methyluminoxane (MMAO), all complexes displayed high activities regarding ethylene polymerization even at an elevated temperature, enhancing the thermostability of the active species. In general, iron precatalysts showed higher activities than their cobalt analogs; for example, 10.9 × 106 g(PE) mol−1 (Co) h−1 by Co4 and 17.0 × 106 g(PE) mol−1 (Fe) h−1 by Fe4. Bulkier substituents are favored for increasing the molecular weights of the resultant polyethylenes, such as 25.6 kg mol−1 obtained by Co3 and 297 kg mol−1 obtained by Fe3. A narrow polydispersity of polyethylenes was observed by iron precatalysts activated by MMAO, indicating a single-site active species formed.

Abstract
Five examples of bis(arylimino)tetrahydrocyclohepta[b]pyridine dichloroiron(II) complex, [2-{(Ar)N=CMe}-9-{N(Ar)}C10H10N]FeCl2 (Ar = 2-(C5H9)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2Fe1, 2-(C6H11)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2Fe2, 2-(C8H15)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2Fe3, 2-(C12H23)-4,6-(CHPh2)2C6H2Fe4, and 2,6-(C5H9)2-4-(CHPh2)C6H2Fe5), incorporating ortho-pairings based on either benzhydryl/cycloalkyl (ring sizes ranging from 5 to 12) or cyclopentyl/cyclopentyl groups, have been prepared in reasonable yield by employing a simple one-pot template strategy. Each complex was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and for Fe3 and Fe5 by single crystal X-ray diffraction; pseudo-square pyramidal geometries are a feature of their coordination spheres. On treatment of Fe1–Fe5 with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) or methylaluminoxane (MAO), a range in catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization were observed with benzhydryl/cyclopentyl-containing Fe1/MMAO achieving the maximum level of 15.3 × 106 g PE mol−1 (Fe) h−1 at an operating temperature of 70 °C. As a key trend, the activity was found to drop as the ortho-cycloalkyl ring size increased: Fe1C5H9/CHPh2~Fe5C5H9/C5H9 > Fe2C6H11/CHPh2 > Fe3C8H15/CHPh2 > Fe4C12H23/CHPh2. Furthermore, strictly linear polyethylenes (Tm > 126 °C) were formed with molecular weights again dependent on the ortho-cycloalkyl ring size (up to 55.6 kg mol−1 for Fe1/MAO); narrow dispersities were a characteristic of all the polymers (Mw/Mn range: 2.3–4.7), highlighting the well-controlled nature of these polymerizations.
