Embodiment
The preparation method of metallocene Zr-tombarthite catalyst is as follows:
1) fluorenyl ligand is synthetic
The bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-is dissolved in organic solvent, is cooled to-30~0 DEG C, slowly drips fluorenes lithium solution, and time for adding 1.5 ~ 2.5 hours dropwises and continues reaction 12 ~ 16 hours;
The mol ratio of the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-and fluorenes lithium is: the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-: fluorenes lithium=1:1 ~ 1.1; Organic solvent is selected from anhydrous diethyl ether or sherwood oil.
Synthetic method is shown below:
The selection of solvent is extremely important, selects anhydrous diethyl ether or sherwood oil as solvent, can effectively control the degree of reaction, and the Br that can control in the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-reacts, and Cl does not react.And while selecting the larger solvent of methylene dichloride, toluene or tetrahydrofuran (THF) isopolarity, Br and Cl can participate in reaction, the elective reduction of reaction.
While using the chloro-1-octene of 7,8-bis-as reactant, fluorenes lithium solution slowly need be added drop-wise in the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-solution, and in reaction, keep the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-excessive in a large number always.Condition control is improper can produce 7,8-, bis-indenyls-1-octene.Cannot there is the next step in 7,8-, bis-indenyls-1-octene, need to separate through gel column.And the present invention utilizes the reactive difference of Br and Cl, obtain object product by the selection of suitable reaction conditions.Avoid the separation of later stage product.Temperature of reaction is-30~0 DEG C, does not need too low temperature of reaction, is easy to control.
The concentration of the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-does not limit, and those skilled in the art can select suitable concentration according to practical situation.Fluorenes lithium is synthetic with known method by fluorenes and butyllithium.Butyllithium can be bought also and can in sherwood oil or normal hexane solvent, be prepared with chlorobutane by Li band according to known method.
React complete, decompression steams after most of solvent, separates through chromatographic column, obtains the chloro-1-octene of 8-indenyl-7-, saves backup.Also can separate without chromatographic column, after completion of the reaction, steam and desolventize the rear the next step of directly carrying out.

Synthetic method is shown below:
。
The product that step 1) obtains will steam and desolventize or solvent removed in vacuo before carrying out the next step, and the solid obtaining can directly carry out the next step.Directly carry out step 2 if the fluorenyl ligand that step 1) obtains does not steam except organic solvent) reaction, speed of response is very slow, products collection efficiency is low.We find, use step 2) in use tetrahydrofuran (THF) during for solvent, side reaction is few, can react rapidly, the part productive rate obtaining is high.The product that step 1) obtains also can be purified by silicagel column.
Indenes lithium is synthetic with known method by indenes and butyllithium.Butyllithium can be bought also and can be prepared by chlorobutane and Li according to known method.The order of addition(of ingredients) of fluorenyl ligand and indenes lithium is not particularly limited, and preferably indenes lithium solution is added drop-wise to the mode in fluorenyl ligand.
3) part lithium salts is synthetic
By step 2) part that obtains is dissolved in normal hexane, drips n-Butyl Lithium, and dropping temperature be-20~10 DEG C, preferred-10~0 DEG C.The mol ratio of part and n-Butyl Lithium is 1:2.0~2.5, dropwises, and naturally rises to room temperature, reacts 10~15 hours.Remove by filter insolubles, decompressing and extracting normal hexane, obtains part lithium salts.
Drain the part lithium salts obtaining after normal hexane, be easy to preserve, also easily make various solution or suspension.Also can not drain solvent, after concentrating, directly carry out lower step and synthesize.
4) title complex intermediate (I) is synthetic
In the part lithium salts that step 3) obtains, add toluene, obtain white opacity liquid, i.e. the suspension of above-mentioned lithium salts, adds CpZrCl at 0~30 DEG C
3dME, wherein DME is glycol dimethyl ether, Cp is cyclopentadienyl.CpZrCl
3the mol ratio of DME and part lithium salts is 1:(1~1.1), stirring reaction 24~40 hours, reaction product is through centrifugation, residual solid is used dichloromethane extraction again, all extraction liquids and the centrifugal liquid obtaining are merged, be concentrated into and occur solid, place for-25 DEG C~-15 DEG C and within 12~20 hours, obtain title complex intermediate (I);
(I)。
Intermediate (I) purity that crystallization obtains is as stated above higher, is easy to analyze.But this intermediate product is very responsive to empty G&W.If not strict airtight preservation, very easily decomposes.The title complex intermediate (I) obtaining can directly be weighed under argon shield, is convenient to calculate the ingredient proportion of compound in each step.
By after all extraction liquids and the centrifugal liquid merging obtaining, after also can concentrating, directly carry out the next step.Do not need-25 DEG C~-15 DEG C to place 12~24 hours, saved the reaction times, and the catalyzer finally obtaining, catalytic effect is also unaffected.
5) metallocene Zr-tombarthite catalyst is synthetic
In benzene or toluene, the catalyzer of formula (I) and expression formula are CpMCl
3cyclopentadiene muriate according to the molar ratio reaction of 1:1~1.2, temperature of reaction is 100~110 DEG C, the time is 12~24 hours; Wherein M is rare earth, and preferred, M is selected from Y, Nd or Sm.
React complete filtration, remove insolubles, after filtrate is concentrated, use organic solvent recrystallization, obtain the metallocene Zr-tombarthite catalyst shown in formula (II):
(II)。
Preferably, the reaction times in step 5) is 12~16 hours, and recrystallization organic solvent used is selected from the mixed solvent of toluene, methylene dichloride or toluene and methylene dichloride.
In catalyzer preparation of the present invention, the selection of solvent is extremely important; In different reactions steps, use different solvents, be conducive to the carrying out of reaction, be also conducive to improve productive rate.We find, the solvent selection in preparation process, and not exclusively follow the principle of " similar mixing ", such as, in the reaction that has lithium salts to participate in, use the non-polar solvents such as sherwood oil higher than using tetrahydrofuran (THF) productive rate on the contrary.We find to use solvent of the present invention through a large amount of experiments, and reaction yield is the highest.The selection of solvent has also determined that the Br in the bromo-1-octene of the chloro-8-of 7-reacts, or Br and Cl react; We find, when adopting weak polar solvent when (as anhydrous diethyl ether or sherwood oil), can control that Br atom reacts and Cl does not react; But simultaneously also startled discovery, is used nonpolar pentane solvent, and reaction yield is not high.
Described each reaction all need be carried out under inert atmosphere, adopts shenlink technology, and rare gas element is argon gas or nitrogen.
Compound provided by the invention can be made the alpha-olefin homopolymerization of C2~C10 or the Primary Catalysts of copolymerization.When polymerization, also needing to add alkylaluminoxane is promotor.Preferred promotor is methylaluminoxane, and when polyreaction, in promotor, in Al and Primary Catalysts, the mol ratio of metal is 250~1500:1, preferably 250~1000:1.Polymerizing condition is 30~80 DEG C, 0.1~0.8MPa.Obtain alkene optimal ethylene, propylene, butylene, hexene or octene for homopolymerization or copolymerization.Polymerization process can adopt mass polymerization or solution polymerization.Analytical procedure and polymkeric substance are described, and adopt the method described in 201110030833.9.
