The following Reaction Scheme 1 details one way of synthesizing a β- diiminate precursor compound corresponding to the β-diiminate monoanionic ligand, represented by Formula (LI).

Reaction Scheme 1: Synthesis of β-Diiminates ((R)(R')nacnacLi)
The catalyst compound of the present invention may be prepared in a variety of ways, using techniques and, in addition to the novel β-diimine compounds and corresponding monoanionic β-diiminate ligands, known precursors for the cationic and anionic portions of the catalyst compound. The catalyst compound of the present invention may be formed either beforehand or in situ (i.e., in the vessel in which the polymerization is to take place).
The β-diimine compounds of Formula (UL), which may serve as precursors for the monoanionic bidentate ligand, represented by Formula (LT), can be reacted with a transition metal compound to form a catalyst compound, as represented by Formula (I), that is useful for the polymerization of olefins.
In a preferred form of the β-diimine compounds of Formula (ELI), the hydrogen or metal containing group represented by m includes hydrogen or a group LA metal, in particular, lithium, sodium or potassium.
Useful transition metal containing compounds for forming such catalyst compounds include those which comprise a group LLLB, LVB, VB, VLB, VLLB or VLH transition metal having ligands that may be displaced by the monoanionic bidentate ligand derived from the β-diimine precursor
9
compound. Particularly suitable transition metal containing compounds include transition metal salts having ligands, in addition and/or including those represented by T and L of Formula (I), that are readily displaceable by the ligand derived from the diimine precursor compound under conditions that do not adversely affect either the transition metal compound or ligand adducts thereof. These transition metal salts include transition metal halides (such as dichloride, trichloride or tetrachloride, with trichloride being preferred), transition metal carboxylates (such as acetates), transition metal alkoxides (such as methoxides), or transition metal sulfonates (such as triflates or tosylates). Typically, these catalyst may be formed in the presence of a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include Lewis bases such ethers, thioethers, amines or nitriles with diethylether and tetrahydrofuran being preferred. In addition, a metal alkyl including, in particular, metal alkyls having a group IA, LLA or ILTA metal such as lithium alkyls (such as alkyl methyl lithium, ethyl lithium, n-propyl and/or i-propyl lithium, n-butyl, or t-butyl lithium), aluminum alkyls, preferably including aluminum trialkyls (such as trimethyl aluminum, triethyl aluminum, triisobutylaluminum or trioctyl aluminum), Grignard reagants and the like may be simultaneously reacted with the other reactants to form the desired catalyst compound. Alternatively, a compound comprising the β-diiminate ligand, such as those represented by Formula (I), can be subsequently reacted with such metal alkyls to form the desired catalyst compound or a compound of Formula (I) can be reacted in situ and/or in the presence of an olefin to provide a catalyst having the desired activity.
With respect to the catalyst compounds represented by Formula (I), above, the relatively weakly coordinated anion X, when present, may be any suitable anion known for this puφose. Suitable anions are often bulky anions, particularly those that delocalize their negative charge. X, in Formula (I), preferably represents tetrakis [3,5-bw(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (herein
10
referred to as BArF), (phenyl)4B\ (C6F5)4B", (CH3)(C6F5)3B", PF6", BF4\ SbF6 " , trifluoromethanesulfonate ( herein referred to as triflate or OTf ), and p- toluenesulfonate (herein referred to as tosylate or OTs"). Preferred weakly coordinating anions include BArF" and (C6F5) B. Catalyst compounds of Formula (I) wherein the weakly coordinated anion is present may be made by further reacting a compound of Formula (I) having at least one alkyl group, with about one equivalent of a strong acid, the conjugate base of which is a non-coordinating anion such as noted for X above, in the presence of a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include, for example, methylene chloride, hexane, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, diethyl ether and the like.
The substituent groups represented by R, R', R1, R2 and R3 should be selected so that they do not substantially interfere or impede the particular type of polymerization reaction for which the catalyst is designed. Whether a particular group is likely to interfere can initially be judged by one skilled in the art based on the parameters of the process where the catalyst will be employed. For instance, in polymerization processes where an alkyl aluminum compound is used, catalyst containing an active (relatively acidic) hydrogen atom, such as hydroxyl or carboxyl may not be suitable because of the known reaction between alkyl aluminum compounds and such active hydrogen containing groups (but such polymerization processes may still be possible if enough "extra" alkyl aluminum compound is added to react with these groups). However, in very similar polymerization processes where alkyl aluminum compounds are not present, these groups containing active hydrogen may be present. An important factor to consider in determining the operability of compounds containing any particular functional group are the effect of the group on the coordination of the metal atom, and side reactions of such a group with other process ingredients, such as those noted above. Therefore, of course, the further away from the metal atom the functional group is, the less
11
likely it is to influence, say, a polymerization. If there is doubt as to whether a particular functional group, in a particular position, will affect a reaction, simple minimal experimentation will provide the requisite answer.
In a preferred form of Formulas (I), R and R' independently represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylorganosilyl, or alkylorganosilyl radical. Preferably, R and R' will independently include such radicals wherein the carbon atom, directly bound to the nitrogen, has at least two carbon atoms bound thereto, for example, isopropyl, phenyl, 2,6- isopropylphenyl, 2,6-dimethylphenyl, 2,6-diethylphenyl, 4-methylphenyl,
2,4,6-trimethylphenyl or 2-t-butyl phenyl. R1, R2, and R3 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl radical, preferably a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having 1-6 carbon atoms, and more preferably a hydrogen atom or methyl radical. M represents a group IVB, VB or VLB transition metal, preferably, chromium, vanadium or titanium. These variables defining the preferred forms of the compounds represented by Formula (I) are equally applicable, when present, to the preferred forms of the β-diiminate ligand and β-diiminate compound represented by Formula (LI) & (LU), respectively.
Exemplary hydrocarbyl groups for T, in Formula (I), include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl, iso-butyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, cetyl, 2-ethylhexyl, phenyl and the like, with methyl being preferred. Exemplary halogeno groups for T include chloro, bromo, fluoro, and iodo, with chloro being preferred. Exemplary alkoxido and aryloxido groups for T include methoxido, ethoxido, phenoxido and substituted phenoxido's. Exemplary amido groups for T include dimethylamido, diethylamido, methylethylamido, di-t-butylamido, diisopropylamido and the like. Exemplary arylamido groups for T include diphenylamido and other substituted phenyl
12
amido's. Exemplary phosphido groups for T include diphenylphosphido, dicyclohexylphosphido, diethylphosphido, dimethylphosphido and the like. Exemplary alkylidene anionic ligands, for two T groups taken together, include methylidene, ethylidene and propylidene.
Each L in the above Formula (I) can represent any suitable electron donor ligand. Suitable ligands include those containing an atom, such as oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous or sulfur, which has a non-bonded electron pair. Examples of these ligands include, but are not limited to, ethers, amines, phosphines and thioethers. Ethers such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and amines such as pyridine are preferred, with THF being particularly preferred.
In a preferred form of the catalytic compound represented by Formula (I), a and b independently represent integers from 0 to 3, inclusive. More preferably, a and b independently represent either 0 or 2. It will be appreciated that when Formula (I) is meant to characterize a mixture of two or more catalytic compounds whereby a and b represent an average of the a and b values of the catalytic compounds, a and b may independently represent any number from 0 to 4, including 1.2 to 1.8.
The polymerization reaction using the catalyst of the present invention may be carried out with a catalyst compound represented by Formula (I) either by itself, referred to as a homogenous catalyst system, or with one or more co- catalysts. The catalyst and or co-catalysts may initially be in a solid state or in solution. The olefin and/or olefins may be in the gas or liquid state (including gas dissolved in a solvent). A liquid, which may or may not be a solvent for any or all of the reactants and/or products may also be present. Suitable liquids include alkanes, cycloalkanes, halogenated alkanes and cycloalkanes,
13
and ethers. Solvents that are especially useful include methylene chloride, hexane, toluene, dichlorobenzene, and benzene.
Co-catalysts useful in the practice of the present invention are group LLA, LLB, LLA and LLLB metal alkyls having at least one alkyl group, preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, bonded to the metal. Suitable metal alkyls include dialkyl magnesium, dialkyl zinc, trialkyl boranes, triarylboranes and aluminum alkyls. Suitable aluminum alkyls include trialkylaluminums (such as trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, and trioctylaluminum). Trialkylaluminums with alkyl groups of four carbons or greater are preferred. Other aluminum alkyls useful in the practice of the present invention include alkylaluminum alkoxides (such as diethylaluminum ethoxide and ethylaluminum diethoxide), and alkylaluminum halides (such as diethylaluminum chloride, diethylaluminum bromide, diethylaluminum iodide, diethylaluminum fluoride, ethyl aluminum dichloride, ethyl aluminum dibromide, ethyl aluminum diiodide, ethyl aluminum difluoride and ethyl aluminum sesquichloride). Suitable triarylboranes include those that are fluorine substituted (such as tripentafluorophenyl borane).
Other suitable aluminum alkyls are aluminoxanes including those represented by the general formula (R"-Al-O)n for the cyclic form and R"(R"- Al-O)n-Al(R")2 for the linear form. In these formulas, R" independently represents an alkyl group (such as methyl, isopropyl, butyl and the like) preferably with more than two carbon atoms, more preferably with 3-5 carbon atoms, and n is an integer, preferably from about 1 to about 20. Most preferably, R includes a methyl or isobutyl group. Mixtures of linear and cyclic aluminoxanes useful in this invention include, but are not limited to, ethyl aluminoxanes, isobutyl aluminoxane, and methyl aluminoxane.
14
The preferred metal alkyl co-catalysts generally include aluminoxanes and trialkylaluminum. When a co-catalyst is used, the mole ratio of the metal alkyl co-catalyst to catalyst should be from about 1 : 1 to about 1000: 1. The preferred mole ratio being from about 10: 1 to about 200: 1.
The catalyst system of the present invention may be used in either slurry or gas phase polymerization processes. After catalysts have been formed, the polymerization reaction is conducted by intermixing the monomer charge with a catalytic amount of the catalyst at a temperature and at a pressure sufficient to initiate the polymerization reaction. If desired, an organic solvent may be used as a diluent and to facilitate materials handling. The polymerization reaction is carried out at temperatures of from about -100°C up to about 200°C, depending on the operating pressure, the pressure of the entire monomer charge, the particular catalyst being used, and its concentration. Preferably, the temperature is from about 20°C to about 135°C. The pressure can be any pressure sufficient to initiate the polymerization of the monomer charge. For instance, the pressure may range from atmospheric up to about 1000 psig. As a general rule, a pressure of about 20 to about 800 psig is preferred.
When the catalyst is used in a slurry-type process, an inert solvent medium is used. The solvent should be one which is inert to all other components and products of the reaction system, and be stable at the reaction conditions being used. It is not necessary, however, that the inert organic solvent medium also serve as a solvent for the polymer produced. The inert organic solvents which may be used include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (such as hexane, heptane, pentane, isopentane, isooctane, purified kerosene and the like), saturated halogenated alkanes (such as dichloromethane,
15
choloroform and the like) saturated cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons (such as cyclohexane, cyclopentane, dimethylcyclopentane, and the like), aromatic hydrocarbons (such as benzene, toluene, xylene and the like). Particularly preferred solvents are dichloromethane, toluene, cyclohexane, hexane, benzene and heptane.
When the catalyst is used in a gas phase process, it may be suspended in a fluidized bed with, e.g., ethylene. Temperature, pressure and ethylene flow rates are adjusted so as to maintain acceptable fluidization of the catalyst particles and resultant polymer particles.
The catalyst of the present invention may be employed on a solid catalyst support (as opposed to just being added as a solid or in solution), for instance on silica gel or any other suitable catalyst support that does not adversely affect the performance of the catalyst. By supported is meant that the catalyst may simply be carried physically on the surface of the solid support, may be adsorbed, absorbed, or carried by the support by other means.
Preferred olefins and cycloolefins in the polymerization include at least one or more of the following monomers: ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, cyclopentene, 1-hexene; with ethylene and mixtures of ethylene with propylene and/or 1-hexene being more preferred. Ethylene alone is especially preferred. Oligomers may also be used, with or without a co-monomer. As may be desired, more than one monomer may be employed in which case a copolymer will be the likely product obtained. However, depending on the reactants employed and the given reaction conditions, polymerization may not always occur.

Elemental analyses were performed either by Oneida Research Services, Whiteboro, NY 13492 or Schwarzkopf Microanalytical Laboratory, Woodside, N.Y. 11377. Note: the elemental analyses for Examples 1 A and IB did not fit the calculated values, presumably, due to the loss of the coordinated solvents resulting from vigorous pumping under high vacuum.
Room temperature magnetic susceptibilities were determined using a
Johnson-Matthey Magnetic Susceptibility Balance which utilizes a modification of the Gouy method. The molar magnetic susceptibility was corrected for diamagnetism using Pascal constants and the effective magnetic moment (Ueff) was calculated from the expression: μ€ff = 2.828 (Tχrn where T is the temperature in Kelvin and χm is the molar magnetic susceptibility corrected for diamagnetism.
Preparation of 2-N-Phenylamino-4-N,-PhenvIimino-2-Pentene,
(Ph)?nacnacH
In a flask, re-distilled aniline was mixed with a molar equivalent (eq.) of 2,4-pentanedione and benzene were mixed. The mixture was boiled on an oil-bath and the distilled-off azeotropic mixture (benzene-water) was replaced with benzene until all water was separated. Then, the suφlus solvent was removed by distillation. The crude product was re-distilled in vacuo (boiling point approx.75°C) to give a crystalline substance which was re-crystallized from n-hexane to yield fine yellowish crystals of 2-N-phenylamido-2'-penten-
4-one.
These 2-N-phenylamido-2'-penten-4-one yellow crystals were then used to prepare (Ph)2nacnacH in accordance with the Reaction Scheme 1
19
(above). A molar eq. of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane was added dropwise to the 2-N-phenylamido-2'-penten-4-one in the same solvent. The mixture was allowed to stand for 30 minutes. Then, 1 molar eq. of aniline in dichloromethane was added. After 1 hour the solvent was removed completely in vacuo and the residual oil was dissolved in hot ethyl acetate and the 2-N-phenylamino-2'-penten-4-phenylimmonium tetrafluoroborate product was allowed to crystallize.
The free base of the ligand, (Ph)2nacnacH was prepared from the cationic salt, 2-N-phenylamino-2'-penten-4-phenylimmonium tetrafluoroborate. An equimolar reaction with potassium hydride (KH) (optionally MeLi) resulted in about a 98% yield of yellow neutral, deprotonated, (Ph)2nacnacH crystals. Alternatively, a metal salt, for instance (Ph)2nacnacLi (or (Ph)2nacnacK), could have been formed from the 2-N- phenylamino-2'-penten-4-phenylimmonium tetrafluoroborate cation salt and two equivalents of MeLi (or KH). Deuterated versions of these compounds are formed by substituting aniline-^ for unlabeled aniline.
EXAMPLE IA Preparation of 2,4-pentane di(N-phenyl)iminato dichioro bis- tetrahydrofuran titanium, (Ph)2nacnacTiCI2(THF)2 and the Corresponding Compound with the Deuterated Ligand, (Ph-rfs^nacnac:
1.50 g (6.0 mmoles) of (Ph)2nacnacH was dissolved in 50 ml of THF and cooled to -30°C. 1 equivalent (132 mg) of MeLi was slowly added as a solid with stirring. The resulting (Ph)2nacnacLi was added dropwise over a three hours period, to a cooled 2.223 g (6.0 mmole) solution of TiCl (THF)3 in 150 ml of THF. The color of the solution changed from sky blue to brown, then to dark brown. The reaction mixture was concentrated to 50 ml, and cooled to -30°C for crystallization. A dark brown microcrystalline powder
20
was isolated by filtration and washed with cold THF several times. After drying under vacuum, 2.92 g (95% yield) of (Ph)2nacnacTiCl2(THF)2 as microcrystalline brown compound was isolated.
The resulting compounds were analytically tested and the results are shown in Tables 1A.1-3. The single crystal X-ray diffraction results are shown in Fig. 1.

EXAMPLE IB
Preparation of 2,4-pentane di(N-phenyl)iminato dichloro bis- tetrahydrofuran vanadium, (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2 and the
Corresponding Compound with the Deuterated Ligand, (Ph-</ )2nacnac:
3.72 mmole (0.93g) of (Ph)2nacnac(H) was dissolved in 50 ml of THF and cooled to -30°C in a round bottom flask. 3.72 mmoles MeLi solution was added slowly and allowed to stir for two hours to give a yellow solution of
(Ph)2nacnacLi in THF with gas evolution. After the reaction mixture was allowed to stir until no more bubbles were observed, it was cooled to -30°C. In a separate round bottom flask, 3.72 mmoles (1.37 g) of VC13(THF)3 was dissolved in 150 ml of THF. The THF solution of (Ph)2nacnacLi was then transferred to an addition funnel and added dropwise to the THF solution of
VC13(THF)3 over a three hour period. The color of the solution slowly changed from dark red to puφle brown and finally dark green. After stirring overnight, the solvent was evaporated to dryness. The resulting brown solid, was extracted with toluene, by trituration in ether. The brown solution was then filtered and toluene was vacuum removed. The solid was dissolved in
THF which turned dark green. The THF solution was cooled to -30°C for crystallization. Dark green microcrystalline powder was isolated by filtration and washed with cold THF several times. After drying under vacuum, 1.05 g (55 % yield) of (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2 was isolated.
The resulting compounds were analytically tested and the results are shown in Tables IB.1-3. The single crystal X-ray diffraction results are shown in Fig. 2.

EXAMPLE IC
Preparation of 2,4-pentane di(N-phenyl)iminato dichloro bis- tetrahydrofuran chromium, (Ph)2nacnacCrCI2(THF)2 and the
Corresponding Compound with the Deuterated Ligand, (Ph-rf )2nacnac:
2.40 mmole (0.6 g,) of (Ph)2nacnacH was dissolved in 50 ml of THF and cooled to -30°C. 2.40 mmoles (53 mg) of MeLi was slowly added as a solid with stirring. The THF solution of (Ph)2nacnacLi prepared in-situ was then slowly added over a three hour period to a slurry of 2.40 mmoles (900 mg,) of CrCl3(THF)3 in 150 ml of THF. The color of the solution changed from a purple to red brown. After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was concentrated to 50 ml and cooled to -30°C for crystallization. A brown microcrystalline powder was isolated by filtration. After washing with cold THF several times and drying under vacuum, 2.09 mmoles (1.08 g, 87% yield) of the resulting (Ph)2nacnacCrCl2(THF)2 compound was isolated.
The resulting compounds were analytically tested and the results are shown in Tables 1C.1-3. The single crystal X-ray diffraction results are shown in Fig. 3.

EXAMPLE 2A
Preparation of 2,4-pentane di(N-phenyI)iminato chloro methyl vanadium, (Ph)2nacnacV(Cl)(Me):
0.97 mmoles (0.500 g) of (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2, reference Example IB, was dissolved in 150 ml of THF and the solution was cooled to -30°C. 0.97 mmoles of MeLi in ether was slowly added to the suspension of (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2 in THF which caused a color change from dark green to dark red brown. After stirring for 5 hours, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The residual THF was removed by trituration in ether. The brown solid was then extracted with ether and filtered to remove LiCl. The ether solution was concentrated and cooled to -30°C for crystallization. A microcrystalline brown powder was filtered and washed with cold pentane. After drying under vacuum, 0.202 g (59 % yield) of (Ph)2nacnacV(Cl)(Me) was isolated. The resulting compound was analytically tested and the results are shown in Table 2A.

Preparation of 2,4-pentane di(N-phenyl)iminato chloro trimethylsilylmethyl vanadium, (Ph)2nacnacV(Cl)(CH2Si(CH3)3):
0.58 mmoles (300 mg) of (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2, reference Example IB, was dissolved in 50 ml of diethylether and the solution was cooled to -30°C. 0.58 mmoles of LiCH2Si(CH3)3) in a diethylether solution was added slowly to the (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2 in diethylether solution which clouded the brown solution without an observable color change. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The dark brown oil was dissolved in pentane and evaporated to dryness twice to remove residual THF. The solid was then extracted with pentane and filtered to remove LiCl. The solvent was again evaporated and the dark red brown oil was dissolved in a minimum amount of HMDS with some drops of pentane and cooled to -30°C for crystallization. 124 mg (505 yield) of dark brown (Ph)2nacnacV(Cl)(CH2Si(CH3)3 crystals were isolated after two crystallization extraction cycles. The crystals were analytically tested and the results are shown in Table 2B.

EXAMPLE 3B
Preparation of 2,4-pentane di(N-phenyl)iminato u's-trimethyl silylmethyl vanadium, (Ph)2nacnacV(CH2Si(CH3)3)2:
1.94 mmoles (1.00 g) of (Ph)2nacnacVCl2(THF)2, reference Example IB, was dissolved in 150 ml of THF and the solution was cooled to -30°C. 3.88 moles (0.366 g) of LiCH2Si(CH3)3 crystals were slowly added to the THF solution which caused a color change from dark green to dark red brown.
After stirring at room temperature for 4 hours, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. By trituration in pentane, the residual THF was removed. A dark brown solid was extracted with pentane and filtered to remove LiCl. After the solvent was removed from the filtrate, the resulting brown oil was dissolved in HMDS and cooled to -30°C. No solid was isolated. However, 0.11 g (65 % yield) of a dark brown oil, i.e., (Ph)2nacnacV(CH2Si(CH3)3)2, was isolated by evaporation of the solvent. The oil was analyzed and the results are shown in Table 3B.

Polymerization Experiments
Method For Determining M„, Mn. M» & Mp
The Mw, weight average molecular weight, Mn, number average molecular weight, weighted to the low end of the material, Mz, average weighted to the high end of the material, and Mp, the peak position molecular weight for the polymer samples are determined using Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) columns. SEC columns separate a polymer solution into fractions based on their 3-dimensional molecular size (hydrodynamic volume - Hv). These fractions are detected by a refractive index (RI) detector which responds linearly to the concentration of homogenous polymers. The molecular weight distribution (MWD) is then determined as the linear equivalent molecular weight relative to a linear calibration polyethylene (PE) standard (Chevron 9640). For high density PE (HDPE), the molecular weights determined can be considered an absolute quantity. For low density PE (LDPE), the average molecular weight (Mw) is underestimated proportionately to the additional weight of branches along the backbone. For samples
54
containing a fairly consistent amount of branching, molecular weight distributions can be compared on a relative scale to each other.
Samples of the polymer are ground up to a 20 mesh size. 8mg +/- 0.2mg are weighed into a 4 ml vial with three separate preparations per measurement. 4mL of TCB (with 500ppm antioxidant to prevent molecular decomposition) is added with an automatic solvent dispenser to each vial.
Samples are dissolved in a oven for 4 Hours at 180°C. The vials are shaken 3 times over this 4 hour period. The sample are then tested using a Waters 150C Chromatography System equipped with 3 Mixed A + 1 50A Polymer
Laboratories (UK) Columns. The measurements are conducted under the following conditions:
Concentration: 2mg/mL Injection Volume: 400uL Flowrate: lmlJmin
Column and Injector Compartment Temperature: 150C Run Time: 1 Hour
The Method of Calculation is: Weight fraction of polymer is weighted against molecular weight with Flow Rate Correction employed by referencing flow rate marker peak. The ViscoTek:TriSec Software Conventional Calibration Module ver. 3.00 is used to report Mn, Mw, Mz, Mp, and D average for the three separate preparations.
Method For Determining Short Chain Branching (SCB)
Samples were analyzed on a Varian Unity+ NMR spectrometer at a magnetic field of 7 Tesla with a 10mm broadband probe tuned for C-13. Approximately 0.5g of sample was placed in a 10mm NMR tube and filled with 3ml of a 3: 1 1 ,2,4-trichlorobenzene / deuterated benzene mixture. The sample is warmed to 130°C and allowed to dissolve until a clear solution is formed. When bubbles and voids in the viscous solution have been
55
eliminated, the sample is ready for analysis. The sample is placed in the bore of the NMR magnet and heated to 130°C. The sample is allowed to come to thermal equilibrium and stabilize for 5 minutes. The sample is deuterium locked on to the deuterated benzene signal for magnet field stability and the sample's magnetic field is shimmed to reduce magnetic field inhomogeneities in order to increase resolution and the signal to noise ratio. The sample is pulsed every 5.9 seconds (0.9s acquisition time and 5s recycle delay for relaxation) for 2500 total transients making a total experiment time of 4 hours. The recorded free induction decay is Fourier transformed to yield the NMR spectrum. The spectrum is then phased and baseline corrected. The short chain branching content is determined using specific resonances that are characteristic and unique to each type of short chain branch (methyl through hexyl and longer). The ratio of the integrals of each characteristic resonance with the resonance for the polymer backbone (27.8 to 31.5 ppm) is taken and the ratio is reported as short chain branches per 1000 carbons. Low molecular weight carbon content is determined by the ratio of the integral of the characteristic resonance at 114 ppm to the integral of the polymer backbone.
Method For Determining Melting Point (Peak DSC M.P.)
Samples were analyzed on a Perkin-Elmer DSC7 differential scanning calorimeter with an intercooler attachment. The sample size of approximately lOmg was placed in an aluminum pan and an aluminum lid was crimped on. The sample is heated twice, the first time to eliminate thermal history and the second time where the DSC sample measurement is recorded. The sample is heated from 0°C the first time to 170°C at 20°C/min, held for 5 minutes at
170°C, then control cooled at 10°C/min to 0°C. The sample is held at 0°C for 1 minute then reheated at 20°C/min to 170°C. This second heating scan is recorded. The peaks are used to determine the melting points which generally
56
appear between 90 to 140°C. The area under the curve is considered to be the heat of fusion of the polyethylene copolymer.
The following polymerization that resulted in formation of oligimers were characterized using an HP 5890 Gas Chromatograph fitted with a FID Detector, Helium Carrier Chrompack Column: WCOT ulti-metal 10M X0.53MM coating HT SIMDIST CBDF=0.15 UM. At the following conditions: 120°C x lmin x 10°C/min x 150°C x 0 min and RampA: 6.0°C/min x 350°C x Omin.

Only the ethylene resonance (6 5.40 ppm) and a new peak δ 1.7 ppm was added to the original spectrum, reported in example 3 A above. After 10 minutes, white particles of polyethylene had precipitated out of the solution. One more charge of ethylene (@ 1 atm) was added to the
