Embodiment 1

[0063] [(Ph 2 PCH 2 SiMe 2 ) 2 N]TiCl 2 (1) Synthesis

[0064] To (Ph 2 PCH 2 SiMe 2 ) 2 To a solution of NH (0.500 g, 0.944 mmol) in pentane (15 ml) was added 1.6M BuLi in hexane (0.59 ml, 0.94 mmol). Upon addition, a white precipitate formed and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solid was allowed to settle and the solvent was removed by pipette. The solid was washed with pentane (10ml) then dissolved in thf (10ml). The thf solution was added dropwise to TiCl 3 • 3thf (0.350g, 0.944mmol) in suspension in thf (30ml). When added, the color changes from light blue to olive green. After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours, the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was extracted with toluene (30ml). The dark green solution was filtered through Celite(R), concentrated to 10 mL, and cooled to -30°C. The product was isolated as gray-green crystals (0.291 g, 0.449 mmol, 48%). Elemental analysis, IR spectrum, a...

Embodiment 2

[0066] [(Ph 2 PCH 2 SiMe 2 ) 2 N] VCl 2 (2) Synthesis

[0067] From VCl as described for Ti derivatives in Example 1 3 3thf (0.353g, 0.944mmol) and (Ph 2 PCH 2 SiMe 2 ) 2 NH (0.500 g, 0.944 mmol) synthesized the compound. The product was isolated from toluene / pentane as dark red crystals. Yield 0.415 g (0.638 mmol, 68%). Elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, magnetic moment, and X-ray crystallographic data were consistent with the title compound.

Embodiment 3

[0069] [(Ph 2 PCH 2 SiMe 2 ) 2 N]CrCl 2 Synthesis of (thf)(3)

[0070] From CrCl as described for Ti derivatives in Example 1 3 3thf (0.707g, 1.89mmol) and (Ph 2 PCH 2 SiMe 2 ) 2 NH (1.00 g, 1.89 mmol) synthesized the compound. The product was isolated from toluene / pentane as magenta crystals. One molecule of thf is coordinated to the metal. Yield 0.644g (0.890mmol, 47%). Elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, magnetic moment, and X-ray crystallographic data were consistent with the title compound.

Abstract

An activated tridentate-, monoanionic-ligand-based transition metal catalyst in a reduced oxidation state for olefin polymerization is disclosed. Transition metal catalyst precursors for these catalysts have the formulae:in which M is a transition metal from Groups 4-9 in a reduced oxidation state, X is a mono anionic ligand, L is a neutral donor group, E is a neutral donor group from Groups 15 and 16, E' is a monoanionic donor group from Group 15, T is a bridging group, n is 1-3 as needed to balance the charge on M, p is 0-3 and q is 1-2. Olefin polymerization is exemplified.

Description

field of invention [0001] This invention relates to transition metal catalyst systems for the polymerization of olefins, and more particularly to [0002] Reductive oxidation state transition metal catalyst systems incorporating tridentate ligands not based on cyclopentadienyl ligands. Background of the invention [0003] Discrete dicyclopentadienyl-based and monocyclopentadienyl-based metal complexes are well known in the art for the polymerization of olefins. In a few cases, olefin polymerization has been demonstrated to start with discrete catalyst precursor complexes with cyclopentadienyl-based ancillary ligand systems and metal centers in reduced oxidation states, e.g. in US5 374696 and 5494874 (Rosen et al); WO96 / 13529 and those in Theopold, Acc. Chem. Res. (American Chemical Research Reports), vol. 23, pp. 263-270 (1990). However, these catalyst precursor complexes do not exhibit C 2 or false -C 2 Symmetry (this is the symmetry that applies to many metallocene cat...
