Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of metal organic compounds, in particular to a metallocene compound containing heteroatoms and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer is a high-performance polyolefin product that is rubber elastic at room temperature and has the characteristics of low density, large bending, high low-temperature impact resistance, easy processing, and reusability. Most elastomers are prepared using bridged metallocene compounds, because the bridged structure gives a specific spatial structure, promotes the coordination and insertion of α-olefins, completes olefin copolymerization, and thus gives the polymer a branched structure, weakens the polyethylene chain crystal area, and becomes an amorphous area with rubber elasticity, so it has the properties of an elastomer.

[0003] In 1993, DOW Chemical Company announced a constrained geometry metallocene compound, which is essentially to give the metallocene compound a specific space. Patent CN93105687 reported that the compound can catalyze ethylene / 1-octene copolymerization.

[0004] In 2001, Exxon reported hafnium metal compounds of carbon-bridged cyclopentadienylfluorene in patent CN1138796C. In 2009, Mitsui Chemicals reported carbon-bridged cyclopentadienylfluorene zirconium metal compounds in patent CN104254546B. Both compounds can efficiently catalyze ethylene-octene copolymerization, and the polymers have excellent properties.

[0005] Similarly, non-bridged metallocenes can also be used to prepare elastomers. As described in the above mechanism, to catalyze the coordination insertion of α-olefins, the metallocene compound must have a specific space, that is, a large steric hindrance ligand structure is used to limit the free rotation of metal atoms, which is beneficial to the preparation of elastomers.

[0006] In 2000, patent WO0005238 reported a bisphosphinimine non-bridged titanocene catalyst for catalytic ethylene-octene copolymerization with a catalytic activity of 10 6 (g polymer / (moL·Ti·h)), the molecular weight is between 20,000 and 60,000, which means that the catalytic activity is not high and the polymer molecular weight is not high, which makes it difficult to process.

[0007] In 2018, patent CN105566530 reported a non-bridged phenol oxide titanocene catalyst for catalyzing ethylene-octene copolymerization with a catalytic activity of 10 6 (g / (moL·Ti·h)), and the octene insertion content is between 10wt% and 16wt%, indicating that the catalyst has certain copolymerization ability but cannot meet the requirements for preparing elastomers. The patent discloses that the catalyst activity is not high and no information on the molecular weight of the polymer is reported.

[0008] The above research shows that compared with bridged metallocene catalysts, in non-bridged metallocene catalysts, the steric hindrance structure of the ligand is not large, and the metal atoms can rotate freely, showing disadvantages such as low copolymerization catalytic activity and poor high temperature resistance. Summary of the invention

[0195] Examples 23 to 41 are polymerization experiments, in which the metallocene compounds obtained in Examples 4, 8, and 12 are used as the main catalyst, and common methylaluminoxane or borate is used as the activator. In specific solvents such as pentane, hexane, heptane and other inert solvents, ethylene and α-olefin copolymerization, such as ethylene and butene, ethylene and 1-hexene, ethylene and 1-octene, are catalyzed to obtain an elastomer.

[0196] Example 13

[0197] Fully dry a 1L stainless steel kettle with mechanical stirring. Under nitrogen protection at room temperature, add n-hexane (500mL), a certain amount of 1-octene and an impurity remover (triethylaluminum; 0.25g) through a metering pump, add hydrogen (50mL) through a hydrogen flowmeter, raise the temperature to 140°C, and fill with ethylene. Take a certain amount of main catalyst (I-52), co-catalyst methylaluminoxane (MAO) and borate in toluene in a glove box and mix them thoroughly for 1h. Then take them out and add them to a pressure tube, press them into the reactor to start the polymerization reaction, and the total reaction time is 10min. After the polymerization is completed, turn off the ethylene gas source, cool to 80°C, and slowly press the polymer into ethanol to quench the reaction.

[0201] Table 2 Aggregation results

[0202]

[0203] The insertion rate of 1-octene was 13 C-NMR (Bruker ADVANCE III400M) was used for measurement. The polymer was prepared into a deuterated 1,2-o-dichlorobenzene solution of about 100 mg / mL at 150°C. The instrument parameters were a pulse angle of 30 degrees, full decoupling, a pulse delay time of 3s, and the sample was scanned continuously for more than 3000 times to obtain its high-temperature NMR spectrum. The 1-octene insertion amount was obtained by analyzing the spectrum.

[0204] In the present application, the molecular weight (Mw) and molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of the polymer are measured by high temperature gel permeation chromatography (PL-GPC220) with 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as the mobile phase and polystyrene as the standard at 150°C.

[0205] The melting point of the polymer (T m ) was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (METTLER, DSC-1).

[0206] The octene insertion rates of Examples 26, 29, and 39 were 6.32%, 4.14%, and 4.60%, respectively, and the polymerization activities (kg / mmoL.cat.h) were 42.3, 47.3, and 41.8, respectively. The above data show that the catalytic system has a high copolymerization ability and can efficiently promote the copolymerization of ethylene and octene. The melting points (°C) of Examples 36, 37, and 38 were 93.4, 50.3, and 63.2, respectively, and the octene insertion rates were 6.32%, 13.98%, and 11.69, respectively. Under the condition of low ethylene pressure and high octene content, polymers with moderate melting points and high octene insertion content can be obtained. On the contrary, polymers with high melting points and high ethylene content can be obtained, such as Examples 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, and 31. The dosage (Al / M) of methylaluminoxane in Examples 32, 33, 26, 34, and 35 was 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700, respectively, and the polymerization activities (kg / mmoL.cat.h) were 23.4, 37.6, 42.3, 43.5, and 35.4, respectively, and the octene insertion rates were 7.37, 5.97, 6.32, 4.55, and 5.49, respectively; the dosage (B / M) of borate in Examples 36, 26, 37, 38, and 39 was 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5, respectively, and the polymerization activities (kg / mmoL.cat.h) were 32.3, 42.3, respectively. , 35.4, 39.3, 41.8, and the octene insertion rates were 8.13, 6.32, 5.49, 5.97, 4.60, respectively. From the above data, it can be seen that increasing the dosage of methylaluminoxane or borate in a certain amount can significantly improve the polymerization activity, and the amount of 1-octene insertion does not change much. It can be inferred that it fully quenches the moisture in the solvent, so that the system can better catalyze the polymerization reaction. However, when its amount exceeds a certain amount, such as in Example 35, the dosage of methylaluminoxane (Al / M) is 700, and the activity (kg / mmoL.cat.h) is reduced to 35.3. It can be inferred that at this time, the chain transfer increases and the active species are deactivated.

[0207] Me1 has the highest catalytic activity and 1-octene insertion, indicating that the ligand structure has a large steric hindrance, which affects the rotation of the metal center, thereby giving the catalyst a specific space and good copolymerization ability.
