Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing alkylammonium borate compound useful as a cocatalyst for the polymerization of olefins, dienes, and acetylenes, a composition containing the same, and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] There have been many reports of the use of non-metallocene metal complex catalysts such as metallocene compounds, diimine complexes, and phenoxy complexes as catalysts for the polymerization of olefins, dienes, and acetylenes. As co-catalysts used to stabilize the cationic active species of these metal complex catalysts, alkylaluminums, aluminoxanes such as methylaluminoxane (MAO), Bronsted acid salts such as ammonium borate, and Lewis acid salts such as triphenylcarbenium borate have been used (Non-Patent Document 1).

[0003] In the catalytic activation reaction by the Bronsted acid salt, the leaving group on the metal complex catalyst is protonated and eliminated from the metal complex catalyst, generating a cationic active species of the metal complex catalyst, and the non-coordinating anion derived from the Bronsted acid salt stabilizes the active species. As the Bronsted base constituting the Bronsted acid salt, various borate compounds such as tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, which is a non-coordinating anion, have been reported (Non-Patent Document 1), and as the Bronsted acid, a Bronsted acid containing nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and / or sulfur is known (Patent Document 1).

[0004] Known examples of the Bronsted acid salt include nitrogen-containing Bronsted acid salts (ammonium borates), such as dimethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, tri(n-butyl)ammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, and methylpyrrolidinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (Patent Document 2). In the catalytic activation reaction using these ammonium borates, a neutral amine compound is produced by losing a proton during the protonation step. Such neutral amine compounds may interact with the cationic active species of the metal complex catalyst, which may adversely affect the polymerization reaction.

[0005] In order to reduce the basicity of the neutral amine compound produced in the catalytic activation reaction, N-(pentafluorophenyl)pyrrolidinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate and the like have been proposed as cocatalysts (Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0107] Among the compounds or compositions of the present invention, R 5 , R 6 and R 7When the total carbon number of the borate compound is 25 or more, it is soluble in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent at room temperature (15 to 30°C). In contrast, conventionally known borate compounds (e.g., hydrogenated tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, hydrogenated tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate diethyl ether complex, lithium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, etc.) are insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as n-hexane. Therefore, known borate compounds are usually used in polymerization reactions as a solution in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. As a result, the aromatic hydrocarbon solvent must be removed, which increases the number of steps and results in significant commercial costs. In addition, they may be used in polymerization reactions as a suspension in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent. However, this suspension presents problems such as poor operability and the need for excessive amounts. Therefore, the compound or composition of the present invention, which is soluble in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, is particularly useful as a cocatalyst for homogeneous polymerization reactions of olefins, dienes, and acetylenes using hydrocarbon solvents (especially aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents).

[0245] [Test Example] (Polymerization Performance Evaluation) A typical polymerization method using the compound or composition of the present invention as a cocatalyst is shown below.

[0246] In a glove box, a 100 mL autoclave was charged with 1-octene, triisobutylaluminum (TIBA, 0.55 M hexane solution), and solvent (methylcyclohexane (MCH) or toluene) to prepare a comonomer solution. The polymerization catalyst dimethylsilylene(tert-butylamido)-(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)-titanium(IV)-dichloride (CGC), triisobutylaluminum (0.55 M hexane solution), and solvent were added to prepare a catalyst solution of a predetermined concentration, which was then transferred to a Schlenk flask. The cocatalyst was dissolved in the solvent to prepare a cocatalyst solution of a predetermined concentration, which was then transferred to a Schlenk flask. After mixing the comonomer solution, catalyst solution, and cocatalyst solution, the total amount of solvent and triisobutylaluminum was kept constant during the reaction. After purging the autoclave with ethylene, the catalyst solution and cocatalyst solution were added to the autoclave in sequence. Immediately after this, the ethylene pressure was adjusted to a predetermined pressure and the mixture was stirred at a predetermined temperature (25°C or 100°C) for a predetermined time. After cooling the reaction mixture with ice and venting the ethylene gas, the mixture was poured into methanol (100mL) containing 3mL of hydrochloric acid and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure at 60°C to obtain an ethylene-octene copolymer.

Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, the compositions (or complexes) of the present invention (Examples 1, 2, 4, and 22) can give polymers with lower melting points than the comparative examples, depending on the polymerization conditions, and it is believed that the amount of comonomer incorporated is increased.
