This invention belongs to the field of catalytic materials technology, specifically relating to a pyridinediimide
cobalt complex and its preparation method, as well as a method for preparing 1-
hexene. A pyridinediimide
cobalt complex has the
structural formula: ; wherein, R... 1 Selected from
fluorine,
chlorine,
bromine, ester, cyano, benzyl, and
hydrogen; R 2 Selected from methyl, ethyl,
isopropyl,
fluorine,
hydrogen,
trifluoromethyl, methoxy, R 2 The positions are ortho, para, and meta of
aniline; R 3 Selected from cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, and
hydrogen. This
cobalt pyridine diimine complex, under the co-
catalysis of
methylaluminoxane (MAO), can catalyze the selective oligomerization of propylene to prepare 1-
hexene. The oligomerization
reaction conditions are mild, and the resulting
polyethylene significantly reduces the symmetry and regularity of the
polymer chain segments, thereby weakening its
crystallinity. While maintaining
mechanical strength, it also exhibits excellent flexibility, resistance to
environmental stress cracking, and low-temperature
impact resistance.
