A Hydrocarbon Soluble, Molecular and “Complete” Al-Cocatalyst for High Temperature Olefin Polymerization

The dinuclear aluminum salt {[iBu(2)(DMA)Al](2)(μ-H)}(+)[B(C(6)F(5))(4)](−) (AlHAl; DMA = N,N-dimethylaniline) is the prototype of a new class of molecular cocatalysts for catalytic olefin polymerization, its modular nature offering easy avenues for tailoring the activator to specific needs. We repo...

Descripción
Sumario:The dinuclear aluminum salt {[iBu(2)(DMA)Al](2)(μ-H)}(+)[B(C(6)F(5))(4)](−) (AlHAl; DMA = N,N-dimethylaniline) is the prototype of a new class of molecular cocatalysts for catalytic olefin polymerization, its modular nature offering easy avenues for tailoring the activator to specific needs. We report here, as proof of concept, a first variant (s-AlHAl) bearing p-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA(C16)) units, which enhances solubility in aliphatic hydrocarbons. The novel s-AlHAl was used successfully as an activator/scavenger in ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization in a high-temperature solution process.
