Copolymerizations of ethylene with α-olefin-ω-ols by highly active vanadium(III) catalysts bearing [N,O] bidentate chelated ligands

Well-defined vanadium complexes as the catalysts for olefin polymerization

“…Interestingly, high catalytic activity of catalyst 1d (9.72 kg/mmol V h) was displayed towards the copolymerization of ethylene and 10-undecen-1-ol (masked by Et 2 AlCl), and the resultant copolymer with the 10-undecen-1-ol incorporation of 3.70 mol% was obtained [50]. Catalyst 1d can also efficiently copolymerize ethylene with 5-hexen-1-ol, and a high catalytic activity (8.50 kg/mmol V h) and a mild monomer incorporation of 2.7 mol% were obtained.…”

“…A catalytic activity of 8.70 kg/mmol V h was obtained when 4a was applied in the copolymerization of ethylene with the Et 2 AlCl masked 10-undecen-1-ol. A copolymer with 4.00 mol% incorporation of comonomer was obtained [50].…”

Polyethylene‐block‐poly(ε‐caprolactone) diblock copolymers: synthesis and compatibility

“…Therefore, the enhanced functional group tolerance makes them very attractive for the incorporation of polar monomers into polyolefin backbones. Recently, we have reported the copolymerization of ethylene with 10‐undecen‐1‐ol using vanadium(III) catalysts . Under mild conditions, the incorporation of 10‐undecen‐1‐ol reached 13.9 mol% in the resultant copolymers.…”

“…The other reagents were commercially available. The vanadium complex [PhN = C(CH 3 )CH = C(Ph)O]VCl 2 (THF) 2 was synthesized according to the procedures reported previously [39][40][41]. In the blend section, the LLDPE's molecular weight (M n ) was 100,000 and the PCL was purchased from Aldrich Co. Ltd. with a number-average molecular weight (M n ) of 80,000.…”
