Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for polymerizing olefins by bringing olefins into contact with a transition metal catalyst and a cocatalyst.
  • a transition metal catalyst usually a co-catalyst is required to obtain an active catalyst system.
  • Ziegler-Natta catalysts have been used for the polymerization of olefins since the Fifties. In order for these olefin polymerizations to proceed satisfactory with these Ziegler-Natta catalysts, co- catalysts need to be added. Usually aluminium- containing co-catalysts, such as, for example diethyl aluminium chloride, are used in combination with Ziegler-Natta catalysts.
  • transition-metal catalysts such as for example metallocene catalysts
  • metallocene catalysts have also been used for the polymerization of olefins.
  • metallocene catalysts In order for olefin polymerizations with the aid of metallocene catalysts to proceed satisfactory, it is also necessary to use a co-catalyst.
  • Aluminoxanes are used as co-catalysts in combination with metallocene catalysts.
  • An example of an aluminoxane is methylaluminoxane (MAO) .
  • a disadvantage of the use of aluminoxanes as co-catalysts in the polymerization of olefins with the aid of a metallocene catalyst is that a very large excess of the aluminoxane relative to the metallocene catalyst has to be applied in order for an active catalyst system to be obtained.
  • the polyolefin produced contains a high concentration of aluminium, so that the aluminium will often need to be washed out of the polyolefin.
  • the object of the invention is to provide co- catalysts suitable for use in combination with a transition-metal catalyst for the polymerization of olefins which do not have this disadvantage.
  • the invention relates to a cocatalyst having the formula XR 4 , wherein X represents Si or Ge and R represents an alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl or alkylaryl group, or to a cocatalyst having the formula [XR 5 ] ⁇ [Y] + , wherein X represents Si, Ge, Sn or Pb and R represents hydrogen or an alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl or alkylaryl group and Y represents a cation.
  • an active catalyst system consisting of a transition-metal catalyst with one of the compounds according to the invention as co-catalyst is obtained which is suitable for the polymerization of olefins.
  • the compounds according to the invention are used as co-catalyst for the polymerization of olefins, the required quantity of co-catalyst relative to the transition-metal catalyst is much smaller than when an aluminoxane is used a co-catalyst.
  • Lewis acids or ion complexes are also used as coatalysts in combination with metallocene catalysts.
  • Lewis acids are boranes, such as tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane
  • ion complexes are borates, such as dimethylaniliniumtetrakis- (pentafluorophenyl) borate, triphenylcarbeniumtetrakis- (pentafluorophenyl) borate and trityltetrakis (3 , 5-trifluoromethylphenyl) borate .
  • Boron-containing co-catalysts of this kind are described in for example EP-A-426 , 637 , EP-A-277,003 and EP-A-277, 004.
  • Another advantage of the use of compounds according to the invention as co-catalysts in the polymerization of olefins is that the use of these compounds is generally cheaper than the use of aluminoxanes, boranes or borates.
  • X is an atom from Group 14 of the Periodic Table of the Elements and can be chosen from the group comprising Si, Ge, Sn and Pb .
  • X is Si, as Si is non- toxic.
  • the R groups may be identical or different and can be chosen from the group comprising hydrogen and alkyl , aryl, arylalkyl or alkylaryl groups.
  • the R group is preferably a hydrocarbon group containing 1-20 carbon atoms. Examples of suitable R groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, hexyl, decyl and phenyl .
  • two R groups may together form a bridged R 2 -group, for example a biphenyl-2,2' -diyl group and a diphenyl-2 , 2 ' - diylmethane group .
  • at least two R groups together form a bridged aryl group.
  • the compound having the formula XR 4 or [XR S ] " [Y] + contains two of such bridged aryl groups .
  • the cation Y is for example a Bronsted acid which can donate a proton, a cation of an alkali metal or a carbene.
  • cations are Li + , K + , Na + , H + , triphenylcarbenium, anilinium, guanidinium, glycinium, ammonium or a substituted ammonium cation, in which at most three hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a hydrocarbyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms, or a substituted hydrocarbyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms , in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms has or have been replaced by a halogen atom, phosphonium radicals, substituted phosphonium radicals, in which at most three hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a hydrocarbyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms or a substituted hydrocarbyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms, in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms has or have been replaced by a
  • the cation is preferably dimethylanilinium, triphenylcarbenium or Li + .
  • Compounds having the formula XR 4 are known from, for example, 'The chemistry of organic silicon compounds, E.S. Patai et al . , Wiley and Sons, 1989' . Anionic organosilicates were demonstrated for the first time in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl . 1996, 35, no. 10.

  • These carrier materials can also be modified with for example silanes and/or aluminoxanes and/or aluminium alkyls .
  • the supported co-catalysts can be synthesized prior to the polymerization, but they can also be formed in situ.
  • Transition-metal catalysts are suitable as catalysts for the polymerization of olefins. Examples of such catalysts are described in US-A-5 , 096, 867 , WO- A-92/00333, EP-A-347 , 129 , EP-A-344 , 887 , EP-A-129 , 368 ,
