摘要: Amines of varying Bronsted acidity and steric encumberance are investigated as chain-transfer agents to functionalize polyolefins via organolanthanide-mediated olefin polymerization processes. Ethylene homopolymerizations carried out with activated Cp′2LnCH(Si(CH3)3)2 (Cp′ = η5-Me5C5; Ln La, Sm, Y, Lu) precatalysts in the presence aniline, n-propylamine, N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amine, di-sec-butylamine, N-tert-butyl(trimethylsilyl)amine, di-isopropylamine, dicyclohexylamine. In these amines, activities up 104 g polymer/(mol Ln·atm ethylene·h) narrow product polymer polydispersities observed, consistent single-site Amine efficiency follows trend C6H5NH2 ≈ nC3H7NH2 << [Si(CH3)3]2NH secBu2NH < N-tBu[Si(CH3)3]NH iPr2NH Cy2NH yield polyethylenes structure H(CH2CH2)nNRR′, where an efficient agent is defined a reagent that both terminates chain growth facilitate...
