Abstract

Two binuclear α-diimine nickel (II) catalyst (A) 2,6-diisopropyl-C6H2-N=C(C10H6)-C=N-C6H4-N=C-(C10H6)-C=N-2,6-diisopropyl-C6H2NiBr2 and 2,6-diisopropyl-C6H2-N=C-(C10H6)-C=N-C6(CH3)4-N=C-(C10H6)-C=N-2,6-diisopropyl-C6H2NiBr2 (B) were prepared and used in ethylene polymerization. To investigate ortho-substituent effect (methyl) on catalyst behavior and produced polyethylene (PE) properties, the experiments were performed under similar condition and methylaluminoxane (MAO) was used as cocatalyst. Catalyst B (1645 g PE/mmolNi. h.) showed higher catalytic performance in comparison catalyst A (1073 g PE/mmolNi. h.). The vinyl content and branching of resulted PE in presence of cat A were 9.1 and 78 (in 1000 carbon atom), however, these quantities decreased to 7.2 and 59 for cat B, respectively. These observations assigned to lower steric and electronic effects of substituents onthe ortho-position of middle aryl ring (hydrogens in cat A) which can cause dissociation of the chain along with vinyl-end and reinsertion of the macromonomers lead to branches producing [Capacchione et al., 2015]. Besides, methyl groups in cat B caused retarding β-hydrogenelimination and chain transfer due to reducing monomer diffusion from ortho-position tometallic center [Merna et al., 2009]. These mechanistic reasons reduce vinyl and branching content in cat B. DSC analysis showed a peak along with a broad shoulder for both synthesized polymer using cat A and B. The broadening transition has been attributedto a sequence of melting followed byrecrystallization steps of less ordered domainswith the variable amounts of chainbranching [Pourmahdian et al., 2011]. The crystallinity contents and melting points were 24.7% and 123.0 ˚C for cat A and 41.3% and 112.2 ˚Cfor cat B. Based on aforementioned reason for branching, cat B which has methyl groups on ortho position instead of hydrogens in cat A, produce less branching with higher crystallinity.
