Abstract:

Three novel [NNN]-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane ligands containing O or N atom in the N-substituent of the type [NNN] were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR,13C NMR and electron ionization-mass spectrometry(EI-MS). Three kind of catalysts were prepared through the coordination of ligands with Cr(Ⅲ), and characterized by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(ESI-MS) and elemental analysis. Upon activation with methyl silane oxygen aluminum(MAO), Cr(Ⅲ) complexes were evaluated the activity to catalyze ethylene oligomerization as catalyst precursor. The effects of polymerization temperature, polymerization pressure and the molar ratio of Al to Cr on the activity and the selectivity for 1-hexene and 1-octene were investigated. The results showed that at the reaction temperature of 50 ℃ and ethylene pressure of 0.8 MPa and n(Al)/n(Cr) of 500, catalyst with 3-(dimethylamino)propy substituent possesses higher catalytic activity of 15.71×105 g/(mol Cr·h) and the selectivity for 1-hexene and 1-octene can reach 91.02%. Otherwise catalyst with 3-ethoxypropyl substituent shows lower catalytic activity of 11.54×105 g/(mol Cr·h), and the selectivity for 1-hexene and 1-octene is higher reaching 93.05% under the same polymerization condition.
