[0045] (a), the preparation of indeno[1,2-b]indole 1

[0046] A mixture of 1-indanone (30.6 g, 232 mmol) and p-tolylhydrazine hydrochloride (37.0 g, 233 mmol) in ethanol (350 mL) and aqueous hydrochloric acid (12N, 18 mL) was heated to reflux for 90 minutes . The mixture was then cooled, filtered and the solid washed with ethanol (600 mL), followed by 20% aqueous ethanol (400 mL) and finally hexane (200 mL). The resulting beige solid was dried under vacuum (36.5 g 72%).

[0063] Propylene polymerization

[0064] By mixing 5 mg of the open structure [1,2-b]indenoindolyl complex 4 prepared in Example 1 with 3.5 ml of MAO (10 wt% methylalumoxane in toluene) and 16.5 ml of toluene, in Prepare the solution of the complex and the activator in an inert atmosphere drying oven. The solution was aged for 30 minutes before being added to the polymerization reactor.

[0065] At room temperature, 400 ml of dry, oxygen-free propylene was added to a 1 liter stirred stainless steel reactor. Then 1.6 ml of a 25% by weight solution of triisobutylaluminum in heptane was flushed into the reactor with 50 ml of isobutane. The reactor was warmed to 50°C and equilibrated. A solution of 1.0 ml of complex and activator was then flushed into the reactor with 50 ml of isobutane to initiate polymerization. After 60 minutes of polymerization at 50°C, the reactor vent was opened to vent residual propylene and isobutane. The polymer was removed from the reactor, soaked o...

Abstract

A process for polymerizing propylene is disclosed. The propylene is polymerized with a catalyst system which comprises an activator and a [1,2-b]indenoindolyl Group 4-6 transition metal complex having open architecture. The process has high catalyst activity and gives high molecular weight elastomeric polypropylene.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the polymerization of propylene in the presence of a catalyst system comprising an activator and a [1,2-b]indenoindolyl Group 4-6 transition metal complex having an open structure. Background technique [0002] While Ziegler-Natta catalysts are the mainstay of polyolefin manufacturing, single-site (metallocene and non-metallocene) catalysts represent the future for the industry. Such catalysts are generally more active than Ziegler-Natta catalysts and produce polymers with high physical properties. These improved physical properties include narrow molecular weight distribution, lower low molecular weight extractables, higher alpha-olefin comonomer incorporation, lower polymer density, controlled long chain branching and its distribution and improved melt rheology and relaxation properties. [0003] Single-site olefin polymerization catalysts having an "open structure" are well known. Examples thereof in...
