Abstract:

Four ligands, N-(2-benzamidophenyl)-salicylaldehyde imine(L1), N-(2-Benzamidophenyl)-3-methylsalicylaldehyde imine(L2), N-(2-benzamidophenyl)-3-tert-butyl-salicylaldehyde imine(L3) and N-(2-benzamidophenyl)-3,5-dibromosalicyl aldehyde imine(L4) were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR and HRMS. Under activated with methylaluminoxane(MAO), L3/TiCl4·2THF, as model catalytic system, aging conditions of the catalytic system were studied systematically. The optimum conditions are as follows: the aging temperature is 25 ℃, the aging time is 30 min, and the molar ratio of L3/TiCl4·2THF is 3∶1. Based on the optimum conditions, ethylene polymerization by L1—L4/TiCl4·2THF was performed under different polymerization parameters, such as molar ratio of Al/Ni, polymerization time and temperature, pressure. It reveals that the ligand with more bulky frame work exhibits higher catalytic activities and higher molecule weight. L3 reaches the highest activity of 224 kg PE/(mol Ti?h). Besides, the microstructures and thermoal properties of obtained polyethylene samples with L1—L4/TiCl4·2THF were characterized by high temperature 1H NMR, 13C NMR, GPC-IR and DSC. It exhibited that the PE samples are of typical linear high density PE, Mn are between 5.9×10 4 and 11.9×10 4, PDI are around 21.9 to 72.1. The research results help us to understand ethylene polymerization in situ deeply.
