How to Polymerize Ethylene in a Highly Controlled Fashion?

Abstract: Very fast, reversible, polyethylene (PE) chain transfer or complex-catalysed "Aufbaureaktion" describes a "living" chain-growing process on a main-group metal or zinc atom; this process is catalysed by an organo-transition-metal or lanthanide complex. PE chains are transferred very fast between the two metal sites and chain growth takes place through ethylene insertion into the transition-metal- or lanthanide-carbon bond-coordinative chain-transfer polymerisation (CCTP). The transferred chains "rest" at the ma… Show more

“…water). MAO, or the incorporated trimethylaluminum (Me 3 Al) always present in MAO mixtures, could also act as a chain-transfer agent allowing for an efficient "Aufbaureaktion" at the Al center [18] or shuttling the growing polymer chain between different catalytic centers (Scheme 1). [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] This interplay between group 4 and group 13 metal centers in olefin polymerization catalysis is well established [15] [a] Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, and has led to the design of some interesting heterobimetallic catalysts.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] However, melt processing of such polyolefins with narrow MWDs is rather difficult because of lack of shear thinning during processing. Therefore it is an important objective in polyolefin development to tailor MWDs and to carefully balance the content of low and high molecular weight polyethylene fractions.…”

“…[10] In this study, to circumvent these problems, we have analyzed by NMR techniques low molecular weight sPS prepared by chain-growth polymerization. [18] In a similar fashion to that we recently described for the synthesis of allyl end-capped syndiotactic oligostyrenes, [19] low molecular weight (M n = 2 000-10 000 g mol À1 ) sPS terminated by a nbutyl end-group were prepared with high efficiency by polymerizing styrene in the presence of [{Cp'CMe 2 Flu'}Nd( 2 (50 equiv vs. Nd). [20,21] The resulting materials are fully soluble in common organic solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons, THF and chloroform, which allowed their full characterization using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and NMR techniques.…”
