Związki kompleksowe chromu(III), wanadu(IV) i kobaltu(II) jako nowe prekatalizatory polimeryzacji olefin

The olefin polymerization catalysts constitute a large group of various compounds. Metallocene complexes are the largest part of this group. However, due to the instability at industrial plastics temperatures and the decomposition of complexes after MAO (or MMAO) activation, they have been partly replaced by non-metallocene compounds. This article concerns the studies on new non- metallocene precatalysts for the olefin polymerization and oligomerization. The report focuses on the structure and the catalytic activities of the complexes of chromium(III), vanadium(IV) and cobalt(II) with the following ligands: dipicolinate, 2-pyridinecarboxylate, oxalate, oxydiacetate, iminodiacetate, 2,2’- bipyridine, 4,4’-dimethoxy-2,2’-bipyridine, 1,10-phenantroline. These complex compounds are highly active precatalysts for olefin polymerization and oligomerization. The complexes: [Cr(dipic)₂][Cr(bipy)(dipic)H₂0]-2H₂0 and [Cr(dipic) ₂]Hdmbipy2.5H₂0 deserve special attention because they are new type of the precatalysts i.e. organic salt type complexes composed both of organic cations and anions. These compounds are not only interesting because of their structure but also because of their high catalytic activity.
