[0002] Polyethylene is one of the polymers with relatively large annual output and practicality. Ethylene, which is relatively inexpensive and easy to prepare, can be converted into various materials, such as plastics, fibers, and elastomers, through a relatively simple insertion method. Currently, by introducing some polar groups into the main chain of polyolefins, this material becomes more suitable for different fields of daily life, such as drug delivery, nanoelectronics, coatings, adhesives, and primers. It is still necessary to explore the development of a new structure and the introduction of some adjustable polar monomers.

[0003] In the related art, in this process of structural modification evolution, the ligand steric factor plays a relatively crucial role in different types of late transition metal catalysts, such as salicylaldimine, phosphonate, pyridineoximeimine, imine / phosphine oxide, and iminopyridyl. However, the above-mentioned imine catalysts still have low thermal stability and are relatively prone to produce highly branched oily and low molecular weight polymers.

[0004] In summary, the imine-based metal catalysts in the related art have low thermal stability. During the catalytic polymerization reaction, it is relatively difficult to control the molecular weight and structure of the prepared polymer, and it is difficult to promote production.

[0043] In related technologies, neutral nickel complexes based on salicylaldimine ligands are mostly used. Such neutral nickel complexes can synthesize polyolefins with relatively excellent high molecular weights, but the molecular weights of the polyolefins synthesized by them have been limited to several thousand. In the process of implementing the present disclosure, it is found that introducing groups with methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxy substituents into the α-diimine backbone can synergistically construct a relatively large steric hindrance effect, thereby controlling the spatial range of subsequent metal-nitrogen coordination.

[0044] In view of this, the present disclosure introduces methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxy substituents into the α-diimine system. Through the synergistic effect of the α-diimine and the methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxy substituents, a relatively large steric hindrance range is constructed, reducing the uncontrolled chain walking and chain transfer behaviors of metal groups when subsequent metal complexes are formed, thereby improving the selectivity and yield during metal coordination, reducing the degree of branching of the polymers prepared subsequently, and increasing the molecular weight of the polyolefin formed during catalytic polymerization.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more understandable, the following further describes the present disclosure in detail with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0046] According to an embodiment of one aspect of the present disclosure, an α-diimine ligand compound of Formula I is provided, wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from any one of C1-C 11 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted benzhydryl, and hydrogen; R5 is selected from any one of methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxy substituents; wherein when there is a substituent on the benzhydryl, the substituent is selected from C1-C 11 alkyl, C1-C 11 alkoxy, and C2-C 11 alkenyl.

[0047]

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the ligand compound shown in Formula I, the α-diimine backbone and the methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxy substituents of the R5 group form a relatively large steric hindrance space. Thus, when subsequent metal coordination occurs, the space where the metal group can coordinate during insertion is relatively small, and the rotation of the N-aryl part at high temperatures is inhibited. Due to the limitation of space, the subsequent chain walking behavior of the metal group is further inhibited, thereby reducing the degree of branching during subsequent catalytic coordination polymerization of olefin monomers, which is beneficial to making the olefin polymers prepared subsequently have less degree of branching and higher molecular weights.

[0049] Furthermore, the R5 group can be a sodium oxy substituent. When the R5 group is a sodium oxy substituent, the two sodium oxy substituents contain two oxygen atoms, both of which can form hydrogen bond interactions with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the carrier during subsequent loading, that is, ionic anchoring is formed. When forming the supported catalyst subsequently, through the ionic anchoring between the sodium oxy substituent group and the carrier, it is beneficial to increase the number of active sites on the surface of the subsequent carrier and form a more sufficient and stable loading structure, which is conducive to achieving a higher molecular weight of the olefin polymer, thereby achieving a better polymerization effect.

[0050] In the α-diimine metal complex provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the metal Lewis acid will coordinate with the N atom in the catalyst ligand.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from one of the following structures:

[0052]

[0053] In the process of conducting the related preliminary experiments of the present disclosure, it was found that when R1, R2, R3, and R4 are selected from the above groups, the degree of branching of the subsequent prepared olefin polymer is lower and the molecular weight is higher.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the α-diimine ligand compound includes compounds of formulas I1 to I 12 shown in the structure:

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for preparing the ligand compound of the α-diimine of formula I is also provided. When R5 is a methoxy group or a hydroxyl group, the preparation methods are basically the same. For the sake of illustration, taking R5 as a hydroxyl group as an example, the following preparation process is specifically described:

[0058] Dissolve 10 mmol of the compound shown in formula A, 10 mmol of the compound shown in formula B, and 10 mmol of 2,3-butanedione in the first organic solvent, add 1 mL of formic acid dropwise, and stir well. Then reflux and react at 70 - 90 °C for 6 - 16 hours. After the reaction is completed, separate the precipitated yellow solid, wash it with an organic solvent, and vacuum dry it overnight at 50 °C to finally obtain the ligand compound when R5 is a hydroxyl group.

[0059]

[0060] The reaction change process is as follows:

[0061]

[0062] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reaction conditions for preparing the ligand compound when R5 is a hydroxyl group or a methoxy group are as follows: under the condition of 70-90 °C, for example, it can be 70 °C, 75 °C, 80 °C, 85 °C, 90 °C, preferably 80 °C; the reaction is carried out for 6-16 h, for example, it can be 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, 11 h, 12 h, 13 h, 14 h, 15 h, 16 h, preferably 12 h.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first organic solvent includes at least one of methanol, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, toluene, and dichloromethane.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, formic acid is used as the catalyst for the reaction. During the catalytic process, formic acid first forms an intermediate with 2,3-butanedione, and then further reacts with the amino group, so that the compounds shown in Formula A and the compounds shown in Formula B are more likely to react, further promoting the forward reaction.

[0065] When R5 is a sodium oxygen substituent, the same parts of its preparation process as the above preparation method will not be described herein again. The difference is that after preparing the ligand compound when R5 is a hydroxyl group, under anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, the ligand compound when R5 is a hydroxyl group is dissolved in anhydrous first organic solvent, and sodium hydride is added and reacted at 5-25 °C for 1-3 h. After the reaction is completed, recrystallization and drying are carried out in sequence to obtain the ligand compound when R5 is a sodium oxygen substituent.

[0066] The reaction change process is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the molar ratio of the ligand compound when R5 is a hydroxyl group to sodium hydride is 1:2.

[0069] Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides a method for preparing the compound shown in Formula A, including:

[0070] Mix 10.1 mmol of the compound shown in Formula C and 10 mmol of 2-methoxyaniline and carry out a heating reaction at a temperature of 120 °C, then add a hydrochloric acid solution of zinc chloride and further raise the temperature to 160 °C. After reacting for 30 min, cool to 5-25 °C, and then add ethyl acetate to dissolve to obtain the compound shown in Formula E.

[0071]

[0072] The reaction change process is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] Mix 10 mmol of the compound represented by Formula E prepared and 10.1 mmol of the compound represented by Formula D, and repeat the above reaction steps to finally prepare the compound represented by Formula A.

[0075] R1—OH

[0076] Formula D

[0077] The reaction change process is as follows:

[0078]

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preparation method of the compound represented by Formula B is basically the same as that of Formula A, and will not be elaborated here.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an α-diimine metal complex of Formula II is further provided, M includes any one of nickel and palladium; X includes at least one of methyl, chlorine or bromine; R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from C1-C 11 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted diphenylmethyl, hydrogen; R5 is selected from any one of methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxygen substituent, wherein when there is a substituent on the diphenylmethyl, the substituent is selected from C1-C 11 alkyl, C1-C 11 alkoxy, C2-C 11 alkenyl.

[0081]

[0082] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the definitions of R1, R2, R3 and R4 in Formula II are as described above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0083] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the insertion position of the metal coordination center in the formed complex has a good regulation effect on the catalytic polymerization of olefin monomers. By constructing an adapted steric space, the space of the metal insertion position can be relatively restricted, thereby inhibiting the uncontrolled chain walking reaction of the metal group, further improving the selectivity and yield of the reaction, preventing the occurrence of unnecessary side reactions, and improving the controllability of the reaction.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the above α-diimine metal complex includes compounds having the structures shown in Formula II1 to Formula II 10 as follows:

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for preparing an α-diimine metal complex of formula II is further provided.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific preparation steps may include: under anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, 1 mmol of the compound shown in formula I and 1 mmol of CODMMeX or 1 mmol of DMEMX2 are added to a first organic solvent and mixed and stirred. Then, for example, CODPdMeCl or DMENiBr2 can be added as needed. DMENiBr2 is successively dried, washed, filtered, and dried to prepare an α-diimine metal complex shown in formula II. The reaction change process is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an α-diimine metal-supported catalyst is further provided, which includes the metal complex and a support as described above, wherein the metal complex is supported on the support. When the R5 group is an oxygen-sodium substituent, two oxygen atoms in the two oxygen-sodium substituents can form a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the support, thereby strengthening the interaction between the α-diimine metal-supported catalyst and the support, increasing the number of active sites on the surface of the support, and forming an ion-anchoring effect. This ion-anchoring effect can strengthen the interaction between the α-diimine metal-supported catalyst and the support through electrostatic and coordination effects, thereby enhancing the active sites of the catalyst.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the support includes at least one of silica, magnesium chloride, or aluminum oxide. Preferably, the support is silica.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for preparing an α-diimine metal-supported catalyst is further provided, including: adding the α-diimine metal complex of formula II and the support to a first organic solvent and stirring for 8 to 16 h, and then successively filtering and drying to obtain the α-diimine metal-supported catalyst.

[0093] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an application of a supported catalyst in catalyzing the polymerization reaction of C2-C 11 olefin monomers is further provided.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, catalyzing the polymerization reaction of C2-C 11 olefin monomers includes:

[0095] Adding a cocatalyst and C2-C 11 olefin monomers to an organic solvent, and then injecting the supported catalyst, such that C2-C 11to carry out a coordination polymerization reaction on an olefin monomer.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the polymerization reaction includes homopolymerization and / or copolymerization of C2-C 11 olefin monomers.

[0097] Specifically, when the polymerization reaction is a homopolymerization reaction of C2-C4 olefin monomers, a C2-C4 olefin monomer, a cocatalyst, and a second organic solvent are added to a reaction vessel and mixed evenly, and an α-diimine metal-supported catalyst containing a methoxy, hydroxyl, or sodium oxy substituent is added. Under the condition of 1-50 atmospheres, a homopolymerization reaction is carried out, and quenching is carried out after the reaction ends.

[0098] When the polymerization reaction is homopolymerization of long-chain olefins with more than C5, other conditions are the same as those of the above homopolymerization reaction. The difference is that when homopolymerizing long-chain olefins, it needs to be carried out under an inert gas atmosphere.

[0099] When the polymerization reaction is a copolymerization reaction of C2-C4 olefin monomers, a copolymer monomer of C2-C4 olefins, a cocatalyst, and a second organic solvent are added to a reaction vessel and mixed evenly, and an α-diimine metal-supported catalyst containing a methoxy, hydroxyl, or sodium oxy substituent is added. Under the condition of 1-50 atmospheres, a homopolymerization reaction is carried out, and quenching is carried out after the reaction ends.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second organic solvent includes at least one of toluene, benzene, and n-heptane. It should be noted that the second organic solvent and the first organic solvent can be the same; the cocatalyst includes at least one of trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, diethylaluminum chloride, dichloroethylaluminum, tri-n-butylaluminum, an alkali metal, or an alkali metal salt, where the alkali metal can be, for example, lithium, sodium, or potassium; C2-C 11 olefin monomers include at least one of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, 10-undecenol, 10-undecenoic acid, 6-chloro-1-hexene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene. During the screening process of the organic solvent, the cocatalyst, and the olefin monomer, it is found that when the organic solvent, the cocatalyst, and the olefin monomer are respectively selected from the above specific compounds, the resulting polymerization product has a higher molecular weight, stronger activity, and lower degree of branching.

[0101] When the metal is nickel, the specific preparation steps are as follows:

Then the pressure vessel was connected to a high-pressure pipeline, and the solution was degassed. The vessel was heated to 30 °C using an oil bath and the pressure valve was adjusted to 1 atm. 2 μmol of α-diimine nickel-supported catalyst in 2 mL of CH2Cl2 was injected into the polymerization system through a syringe. Under rapid stirring, the reactor was pressurized and maintained at 8.0 atm of ethylene. After 30 min, the pressure vessel was vented and the resulting crude olefin polymer was precipitated in acidified methanol (methanol / HCl = 50 / 1) and dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 24 h to obtain the olefin polymer.

[0103] When the metal is palladium, the specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0104] 1.2 eq of sodium borate salt (NaBAF) was mixed with 18 mL of n-hexane in a pressure vessel and stirred evenly with a magnetic stir bar. Then the pressure vessel was connected to a high-pressure pipeline, and the solution was degassed. The vessel was heated to 20 - 80 °C using an oil bath and the pressure valve was adjusted to 1 atm. 10 μmol of α-diimine palladium-supported catalyst in 2 mL of CH2Cl2 was injected into the polymerization system through a syringe. Under rapid stirring, the reactor was pressurized and maintained at 8.0 atm of ethylene. After 60 min, the pressure vessel was vented and the resulting crude olefin polymer was precipitated in acidified methanol (methanol / HCl = 50 / 1) and dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 24 h to obtain the olefin polymer.

[0105] When using methyl undecylenate or 6-chloro-1-hexene for copolymerization reaction, the specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0106] 500 eq of diethylaluminum chloride (AlEt2Cl), n-hexane and methyl undecylenate or 6-chloro-1-hexene with a total volume of 18 mL were added to a pressure vessel and mixed evenly with a magnetic stir bar. The pressure vessel was connected to a high-pressure pipeline, and the solution was degassed. At the same time, the vessel was heated to 20 - 80 °C using an oil bath and the pressure valve was adjusted to 1 atm. 10 μmol of α-diimine nickel-supported catalyst dissolved in 2 mL of dichloromethane was injected into the polymerization system through a syringe. Under rapid stirring, the reactor was pressurized and maintained at 8.0 atm of ethylene. After 30 min, the pressure vessel was vented and the resulting crude olefin polymer was precipitated in acidified methanol (methanol / HCl = 50 / 1) and dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 24 h to obtain the olefin polymer.

[0107] When using methyl acrylate for copolymerization reaction, the specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0108] 500 eq of diethylaluminum chloride, n-hexane and methyl acrylate with a total volume of 18 mL were added to a pressure vessel and mixed, and stirred evenly with a magnetic stir bar. The pressure vessel was connected to a high-pressure pipeline, and the solution was degassed. At the same time, the vessel was heated to 20-80 °C using an oil bath and the pressure valve was adjusted to 1 atmosphere. 20 μmol of α-diimine palladium-supported catalyst dissolved in 2 mL of dichloromethane was injected into the polymerization system through a syringe. Under rapid stirring, the reactor was pressurized and maintained at 8.0 atm of ethylene. After 120 min, the pressure vessel was vented and the resulting crude olefin polymer was precipitated in acidified methanol (methanol / HCl = 50 / 1) and dried in a vacuum environment at 50 °C for 24 hours to obtain the olefin polymer.

[0109] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a class of α-diimine ligand compounds containing methoxy, hydroxyl or sodium oxy substituents, their metal complexes, α-diimine metal-supported catalysts and their applications. Different functional group substituents of the α-diimine metal complexes have relatively distinct activity contrasts, and show higher stability and activity after loading. In particular, when this supported catalyst is applied to homogeneous catalytic polymerization, the α-diimine nickel / palladium-supported catalyst containing methoxy substituents shows relatively better homopolymerization effect and higher tolerance to polar monomers; when this supported catalyst is applied to heterogeneous catalytic polymerization, the α-diimine nickel / palladium catalyst containing sodium oxy substituents shows relatively better homopolymerization effect. The main reasons are that during homogeneous polymerization, the steric hindrance of the methoxy group is the largest, so it will increase the axial steric hindrance of the metal center to a greater extent and is more likely to inhibit β-H elimination; under heterogeneous polymerization conditions, the oxygen atom on the sodium oxy group and the hydrogen atom on the support can form a strong hydrogen bond, so the catalyst can contact the support more closely and achieve a better loading effect.

In the following detailed description, for the sake of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
