The invention relates to a catalytic
system for preparing a cycloolefin
copolymer and application. The catalytic
system comprises a main catalyst, a catalyst
promoter and a
chain transfer agent, the main catalyst is a
silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl
titanium complex, a
silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl
zirconium complex, a
silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl
hafnium complex or a silane-bridged fluorenyl amino
hafnium dichloride complex; the auxiliary catalyst is a silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl
titanium complex, a silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl
zirconium complex, a silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl
hafnium complex or a silane-bridged fluorenyl amino dimethyl hafnium complex; the cocatalyst is an aluminum compound or a
boron compound; the
chain transfer agent is more than one of second main / subgroup
metal complexes; during application, the catalytic
system is adopted, and cycloolefin and non-cyclic olefin are subjected to a copolymerization reaction under the catalytic action of the catalytic system to prepare the cycloolefin
copolymer. According to the catalytic system disclosed by the invention, the consumption of expensive silane-bridged
metal complexes is remarkably reduced, and powerful regulation and control on the molecular weight of a
polymer are realized while high
polymerization activity is maintained; the prepared cycloolefin
copolymer has the advantages of adjustable molecular weight wide range, narrow molecular
weight distribution, and controllable cycloolefin
insertion rate and
glass transition temperature.
