Description

Alpha-carboxyl-beta-diimine nickel complex, preparation method and application thereof, and preparation method of ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer
Technical Field
The invention relates to an alpha-carboxyl-beta-diimine nickel complex, a preparation method and application thereof, and a preparation method of an ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, belonging to the technical field of olefin catalytic polymerization.
Background
Polyolefin is a material with excellent performance, is widely applied to various fields of automobiles, electronics, pipes, medical treatment, military industry and the like, and is a polymer material widely applied in daily life of people. However, the non-polarity of polyolefin materials limits its wider application. The polar groups are introduced into the polymer chain, so that the properties of adhesiveness, dyeability, compatibility and the like of the polyolefin material can be remarkably improved. For example, ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymers (EMA) containing 10 to 30% Methyl Acrylate (MA) have good mechanical properties and compatibility and are widely used in a variety of fields. The industrial EMA is obtained by free radical copolymerization under the severe conditions of high temperature (150-300 ℃) and high pressure (150-300 MPa), and the branched chain structure of the copolymer is uncontrollable.
Compared with the severe conditions of free radical copolymerization, the coordination polymerization can catalyze the direct copolymerization of olefin and polar monomer under mild conditions and obtain the functional polyolefin with controllable branched chain structure, which is a simple, direct and effective method. Polar monomers MA generally have poisoning effects on metal catalysts, in particular pre-transition metal catalysts, which are generally deactivated in the presence of methyl acrylate and cannot be copolymerized. Thus, the preparation of ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymers by direct copolymerization via catalytic coordination polymerization is very challenging.
The late transition metal nickel-palladium catalyst has better tolerance to polar groups due to weak electrophilic and oxophilic properties, and can catalyze the copolymerization of ethylene and polar monomers. Cationic alpha-diimine palladium is capable of catalyzing the copolymerization of ethylene and MA, and due to the rapid chain walking process, highly branched, amorphous copolymers with MA at the end of the branches are generally prepared, with a degree of branching between 97 and 106 branches/1000C (J.Am. Chem. Soc.1998,120, 888-899). In addition, neutral phosphine phenol type nickel catalysts are capable of catalyzing the copolymerization of ethylene and MA to give highly linear copolymers with MA inserted into the backbone, which is very different from commercial free radical prepared EMA branched structures. Thus, preparing EMA copolymer with low branching structure and regulating microstructure through catalytic coordination polymerization is still a great challenge and needs to break through.
CN105968027A, CN105968027A, CN113651909A, CN113603611A, CN112538098A and the like disclose the latest research results, and it can be seen that the existing nickel-palladium catalyst catalyzes the ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer prepared by copolymerizing ethylene and methyl acrylate, while the structure of the copolymer can be regulated by the catalyst structure and the like, the copolymer has the problems of low molecular weight and MA monomer insertion rate, low copolymerization activity and the like, and compared with the EMA copolymer obtained by a commercial free radical process, the branched structure of the copolymer has a difference.
