Ionic Liquid-Supported Bis-(salicylaldimine) Nickel Complexes: Robust and Recyclable Catalysts for Ethylene Oligomerization in Biphasic Solvent System

Abstract: Two new ionic liquid-supported bis-(salicylaldimine) Ni(II) complexes Ni[2-(O)C 6 H 4 CH=N(CH 2 ) 3 (methylimidazole)Br] 2 (1) and Ni[3, 5-t Bu 2 -2-(O)C 6 H 2 CH= N(CH 2 ) 3 (methylimidazole)Br] 2 (2) have been synthesized and characterized. Ethylene oligomerizations were carried out with these two complexes in biphasic solvent systems consisting of chloroaluminate ionic liquid and n-heptane or toluene under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of diethylaluminum chloride, both complexes 1 and 2 are high… Show more

“…Bis-(salicylaldimine)Ni(II) complexes were also evaluated for ethylene oligomerization in organochloraluminate ILs ([BMI][Cl]/AlCl 3 , 1/1 ratio with variable amounts of AlEt 2 Cl). 171 Imidazolium tags were attached to the bis-(salicylaldimine) scaffold for better solubility of the nickel complex in ILs (complexes 75-76, Figure 35). While these complexes appeared inactive in common organic solvents (toluene or heptane), they exhibited very high productivity in IL/toluene or IL/heptane biphasic mixtures with marked selectivity for C 4 -C 8 oligomers.…”

“…[22] The stability of the catalyst could be enhanced by the use of ligands with imidazolium tags. [42] Recycling experiments showed that bis-(salicylaldimine) Ni(II) complexes bearing imidazolium moieties in the side chains (11, Figure 7) could be recycled more efficiently, retaining their catalytic activity (with TOF values of 49 h -1 -41 h -1 ) at least in three cycles of ethene oligomerization. In contrast, activity of complex 12 dropped considerably upon reuse with TOFs of 48 h -1 and 30 h -1 in the first and second batch, respectively.…”

“…Thus, the presence of bulky substituents in the backbone of the salicylamidinato ligand is a key requirement to generate highly active nickel catalysts for olefin polymerization . On the other hand, the use of less sterically encumbered phenoxy‐imine ligands afforded predominantly nickel catalysts for ethylene oligomerization . Selected examples are presented in Chart 1.…”
