Embodiment
The preparation method of bridged metallocene Zr-tombarthite catalyst is as follows:
1) synthesis of fluorenyl ligand
The bromo-1-hexene of the chloro-6-of 5-is dissolved in organic solvent, is cooled to-30 ~ 0 DEG C, slowly drips fluorenes lithium solution, time for adding 1.5 ~ 2.5 hours, dropwises and continue reaction 10 ~ 12 hours;
The mol ratio of the chloro-6-of 5-bromo-1-hexene and fluorenes lithium is: the bromo-1-hexene of the chloro-6-of 5-: 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, effectively can control the degree of reacting, and can react by the Br in the bromo-1-hexene of the chloro-6-of control 5-, and Cl does not react.And select methylene dichloride, toluene or tetrahydrofuran (THF) isopolarity larger solvent time, Br and Cl can participate in reaction, and the selectivity of reaction reduces.
When using the chloro-1-hexene of 5,6-bis-as reactant, fluorenes lithium solution slowly need be added drop-wise in the chloro-6-of 5-bromo-1-hexene solution, and keep the chloro-6-of 5-bromo-1-hexene excessive in the reaction always.Condition control is improper can produce 9,10-, bis-indenyls-1-decene.Cannot there is the next step in 9,10-, bis-indenyls-1-decene, need to be separated 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 late-stage products.Temperature of reaction is-30 ~ 0 DEG C, does not need too low temperature of reaction.
The concentration of the bromo-1-hexene of the chloro-6-of 5-does not limit, and those skilled in the art can select suitable concentration according to practical situation.Fluorenes lithium is synthesized with known method by fluorenes and butyllithium.Butyllithium can be bought and also can be prepared in sherwood oil or normal hexane solvent with chlorobutane by Li band according to known method.
React complete, after decompression steams most of solvent, be separated through chromatographic column, obtain the chloro-1-hexene of 6-indenyl-5-, save backup.Also can be separated without chromatographic column, after completion of the reaction, steam to desolventize and directly carry out the next step afterwards.
2) synthesis of bridging indenyl fluorenyl ligand
Add solvents tetrahydrofurane in the fluorenyl ligand that step 1) obtains, then react with indenes lithium, obtain the indenyl fluorenyl ligand of bridging.The mol ratio of fluorenyl ligand and indenes lithium is 1:1 ~ 1:1.1; Temperature of reaction is-30 DEG C ~ 0 DEG C; Reaction times is 12-18 hour.
If the fluorenyl ligand that step 1) obtains does not steam except organic solvent directly carry out step 2) reaction, speed of response is very slow, and products collection efficiency is low.We find, use step 2) in use tetrahydrofuran (THF) for solvent time, side reaction is few, can react rapidly, and the part productive rate obtained is high.
Indenes lithium is synthesized with known method by indenes and butyllithium.Butyllithium can be bought and also 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.
Synthetic method is shown below:
3) synthesis of part lithium salts
By step 2) part that obtains is dissolved in normal hexane, and drip n-Butyl Lithium, 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, naturally rises to room temperature, reacts 10 ~ 15 hours.Cross and filter insolubles, decompressing and extracting normal hexane, obtain part lithium salts.
The part lithium salts obtained after draining normal hexane, is easy to preserve, also easily makes various solution or suspension.Also can not drain solvent, after concentrated, directly carry out lower step synthesis.
4) synthesis of title complex intermediate (I)
Add toluene in the part lithium salts that step 3) obtains, obtain white opacity liquid, be i.e. the suspension of above-mentioned lithium salts, at 0 ~ 30 DEG C, add CpZrCl
3dME, wherein DME is glycol dimethyl ether, and Cp is cyclopentadienyl.CpZrCl
3the mol ratio of DME and part lithium salts is 1:(1 ~ 1.1), stirring reaction 30 ~ 48 hours, reaction product is through centrifugation, residual solid uses dichloromethane extraction again, all extraction liquids and the centrifugal liquid obtained are merged, be concentrated into and occur solid, namely-25 DEG C ~-15 DEG C placements obtain title complex intermediate (I) for 12 ~ 24 hours;
Intermediate (I) purity that obtains of crystallization is higher as stated above, 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) obtained can directly be weighed, and is convenient to the ingredient proportion calculating compound in each step.
After all extraction liquids and the centrifugal liquid obtained being merged, after also can concentrating, directly carry out the next step.Do not need-25 DEG C ~-15 DEG C to place 12 ~ 24 hours, save the reaction times, and the catalyzer finally obtained, catalytic effect is also unaffected.5) synthesis of bridged metallocene Zr-tombarthite catalyst
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, and the time is 12 ~ 24 hours; Wherein M is rare earth, and preferably, M is selected from Y, Nd or Sm;
React complete filtration, removing insolubles, use organic solvent recrystallization after filtrate is concentrated, obtain the bridged metallocene Zr-tombarthite catalyst shown in formula (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 catalyst preparing of the present invention, the selection of solvent is extremely important; In different reactions steps, use different solvents, be conducive to the carrying out reacted, be also conducive to improving productive rate.We find, solvent in preparation process is selected, and not exclusively follow the principle of " similar mix ", such as, in the reaction participated in there being lithium salts, use the non-polar solvents such as sherwood oil higher than using tetrahydrofuran (THF) productive rate on the contrary.We are through a large amount of experiments, find to use solvent of the present invention, and reaction yield is the highest.The Br that the selection of solvent also determines in the bromo-1-hexene of the chloro-6-of 5-reacts, or Br and Cl reacts; We find, when adopting weak polar solvent (as anhydrous diethyl ether or sherwood oil), can to react and Cl does not react by control Br atom; But the discovery of being yet taken aback, use nonpolar pentane solvent, reaction yield is not high simultaneously.
Described each reaction all needs to carry out under an inert atmosphere, and adopt shenlink technology, rare gas element is argon gas or nitrogen.
Compound provided by the invention can make the alpha-olefin homopolymerization of C2 ~ C10 or the Primary Catalysts of copolymerization.Also needing during polymerization to add alkylaluminoxane is promotor.Preferred promotor is methylaluminoxane, and during 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.Alkene optimal ethylene, propylene, butylene, hexene or octene is obtained for homopolymerization or copolymerization.Polymerization process can adopt mass polymerization or solution polymerization.Analytical procedure and polymkeric substance describe, and adopt the method described in 201110030833.9.
