Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of coordination complex catalysts, and particularly relates to a chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Linear alpha-olefins (LAOs) are straight-chain olefin molecules with a double bond at the head. Due to the relatively active double bond structure, they become important raw materials in the petroleum and chemical industry and are widely used in polymerization and hydrogenation fields, and play an important role in the synthesis of polyethylene, lubricants, plasticizers, alcohols and surfactants. Among them, 1-octene is an important organic synthesis raw material and is widely used. In recent years, the demand for polyolefin elastomer (POE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other materials has increased significantly, which has led to a sustained increase in demand for 1-octene. Therefore, 1-octene has a very broad market prospect.

[0003] The industry often uses ethylene oligomerization to prepare 1-octene. This method uses a specific catalyst (such as an alkyl aluminum plus a post-transition metal catalyst such as chromium) to perform a homogeneous reaction of selective tetramerization of ethylene in an organic solution to prepare 1-octene. Compared with the traditional method of obtaining 1-octene, the method of preparing 1-octene by ethylene oligomerization has the advantages of high selectivity, low energy consumption and simple operation. Therefore, preparing a catalyst with high reaction activity and good selectivity for 1-octene is the key to the homogeneous preparation of 1-octene by ethylene oligomerization. However, it is often difficult to find a metal homogeneous catalyst with both high catalytic activity and high 1-octene selectivity in the prior art.

[0004] Chinese patent CN119346177A discloses a high-selectivity catalyst, a preparation method and an application in an ethylene oligomerization reaction. The catalyst system includes a phosphine-containing ligand, a transition metal compound, an organic solvent and a cocatalyst. The structural formula of the phosphine-containing ligand is as follows:

[0005] ,

[0006] In the formula, n is an integer in the range of 2-10; R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from one or a combination of several of C2-C9 alkyl, aryl, substituted alkyl and substituted aryl. The patent has high selectivity for preparing 1-octene, but the catalytic activity is relatively low. Chinese patent CN117504934A discloses a novel chromium-based catalyst and a preparation method. The preparation of the catalyst is divided into three steps: preparation of dispersion liquid A, preparation of ligand and polymerization reaction. The solvent of the dispersion liquid A is dichloromethane, the storage temperature is -10-10℃, and the vacuum time of the reaction kettle used for the polymerization reaction is 1-3h. Although the catalyst in the patent has high activity, it has poor ability in terms of selectivity for preparing 1-octene. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims to provide a chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst to solve the problem of poor selectivity of 1-octene and poor reaction activity of the existing catalyst in ethylene oligomerization; and simultaneously provide a preparation method and application of the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst.

[0008] The structural formula of the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst is as follows:

[0009] ,

[0010] In the formula, R 1 is acetylacetone chromium, and R 2 is acetylacetone nickel.

[0011] The preparation method of the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0012] (1) isopropylamine, cyclohexyl phenyl chlorophosphine and an acid binding agent are added into a solvent to react, so as to obtain a PNP ligand;

[0013] (2) the PNP ligand, acetylacetone chromium and acetylacetone nickel are respectively dissolved in a solvent to obtain a PNP ligand solution, an acetylacetone chromium solution and an acetylacetone nickel solution; the PNP ligand solution, the acetylacetone chromium solution and the acetylacetone nickel solution are mixed and stirred to react, so as to obtain the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst.

[0014] In step (1), the acid binding agent is triethylamine, the molar ratio of isopropylamine to the acid binding agent is 1:10-20, the solvent is dichloromethane or trichloromethane, the molar ratio of isopropylamine to the solvent is 1:123-156, and the molar ratio of isopropylamine to cyclohexyl phenyl chlorophosphine is 0.4-0.6:1.

[0015] In step (1), the reaction time is 14-15 hours, and the reaction temperature is 0-30°C.

[0016] In step (1), the structural formula of cyclohexyl phenyl chlorophosphine is as follows:

[0017] .

[0018] In step (1), the cyclohexyl phenyl chlorophosphine is prepared from diphenyl chlorophosphine.

[0019] In step (1), the reaction equation for preparing the PNP ligand is as follows:

[0020] .

[0021] In step (2), the reaction equation for preparing the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst is as follows:

[0022] .

[0023] The molar ratio of acetylacetone chromium and acetylacetone nickel in step (2) is 8-16:1, and the molar ratio of the PNP ligand to the total moles of acetylacetone chromium and acetylacetone nickel is 1:1.5-4.5.

[0024] The molar ratio of the solvent to acetylacetone chromium in step (2) is 29-100:1, preferably 40-60:1; the reaction temperature is room temperature, and the reaction time is 1-2 hours.

[0025] The solvent in step (2) is at least one of benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene or xylene.

[0026] The application of the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst described in the application is that the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst, ethylene and a co-catalyst are added into a solvent to carry out oligomerization reaction to obtain 1-octene.

[0027] The co-catalyst is at least one of methylaluminoxane, modified methylaluminoxane, triethylaluminum or triisobutylaluminum, and the solvent is at least one of cyclohexane, 1,4-dioxane, cyclooctane, methylcyclohexane or toluene.

[0028] The molar ratio of the co-catalyst to the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst is 450-600:1, and the molar ratio of the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst to the solvent is 1:487-1000.

[0029] The oligomerization reaction temperature is 30-60°C, preferably 35-50°C, the oligomerization reaction pressure is 30-50 atm, and the oligomerization reaction time is 30-50 min.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] (1) By co-coordinating Cr and Ni bimetallic atoms to the organic phosphine ligand, a coordination mode with symmetry is formed, which brings multiple-dimensional performance improvement: the electron cloud density inside the ligand is more uniform, significantly enhancing the reaction stability; the ethylene molecule capture and ring formation rate is accelerated, improving the catalytic activity; the electronic transfer energy barrier is reduced, promoting the generation of long carbon chain products, improving the 1-octene selectivity and reducing the by-products. Compared with the traditional PNP ligand, one benzene ring connected to the P atom is replaced by cyclohexane. Because of the flexible aliphatic structure of cyclohexane compared with the rigid benzene ring, the spatial conformation can be more flexible, reducing the spatial hindrance to ethylene molecule combination. At the same time, the saturated structure of cyclohexane more stably regulates the electron density of the P atom through the sigma bond induction effect, forming a more coordinated coordination environment with the Cr and Ni bimetallic center, further amplifying the performance advantages brought by the structural design.

[0032] (2) The chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst prepared by the application can be applied to ethylene oligomerization, and the catalytic activity (oligomerization activity >=1.6*10 7 g·mol -1 (Cat)·h -1 ) and the selectivity of 1-octene (>=80%) are verified by experiments. The synergistic effect of the bimetal and the optimization of the ligand structure guarantee high catalytic efficiency, which can quickly activate ethylene molecules and accurately control the chain growth process, meeting the dual demands of high activity and high selectivity of the catalyst for industrial production.

[0033] (3) The introduction of Ni metal can promote ethylene insertion growth, terminate chain growth in time through beta-H elimination, reduce the generation of high molecular weight polymers, reduce the dosage of toxic metal Cr, significantly reduce the toxicity of the system, improve the production safety, prolong the service life of the catalyst, reduce the loss caused by frequent replacement of the catalyst, and further compress the industrialization cost, realize the balance of environmental protection and economy.

[0034] (4) The catalyst preparation process does not require complex equipment and harsh conditions, and is simple and easy to operate; the raw materials are widely available and easy to obtain, especially after replacing part of the benzene ring in the ligand with cyclohexane, the synthesis complexity of benzene ring derivatives is avoided, and the availability of raw materials is further improved. Benefiting from the optimized reaction path and stable molecular structure, the yield of the catalyst is >=90%, which provides a solid foundation for large-scale industrial production and has significant technical transformation advantages.

[0035] (5) Mechanism: The electronic configuration (3d 8 4s 2 ) of nickel makes it more accurate and rapid in the specific ethylene insertion area (C4-C6) and reaction rate compared with other metals such as Cr after being combined with phosphine ligand, so the introduction of Ni atom makes the chromium-nickel bimetallic center complex catalyst more accurate and rapid in capturing two ethylene molecules to form a metal five-membered ring structure compared with the traditional chromium metal catalyst, the metal five-membered ring structure then transfers the captured two ethylene molecules to the Cr on the ligand through H transfer, and finally the Cr metal center captures two ethylene molecules to form a metal nine-membered ring, releases 1-octene after H transfer removal, and because the introduction of Ni occupies the steric hindrance, the further capture of Cr to generate higher carbon number is inhibited.
