Definitions
- the invention relates to multimetal cyanide compounds which can be used in particular as catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of alkylene oxides, a process for their preparation and their use as catalysts for the polymerization of alkylene oxides.
- Multimetal cyanide catalysts also known as DMC catalysts, are effective catalysts for the production of polyetherols by ring-opening polymerization of alkylene oxides. Products of this type are used in industry, for example, as starting materials for the production of polyurethanes by reaction with polyisocyanates, as surface-active compounds or as carrier oils.
- the DMC catalysts also have disadvantages. This can delay the start of the reaction when the reaction starts. This delay is often referred to as the induction period. Another disadvantage is the formation of very high molecular weight fractions in the polyether alcohol. These high molecular weight components can have a very disadvantageous effect on further processing into polyurethanes.
- WO 99/16775 describes crystalline monoclinic DMC catalysts which have a higher catalytic activity than the previously preferred amorphous DMC catalysts. However, it has been shown that these catalysts also have an induction period that is still too long.
- the object of the present invention was to provide crystalline DMC catalysts which are distinguished by an increased catalytic activity and, when used for the polymerization of alkylene oxides, the induction period is clearly suppressed
- DMC catalysts which consist of at least 10% by weight of a crystalline monoclinic multimetal cyanide compound, have an X-ray diffractogram with sharp reflections at at least the d values
- the invention accordingly relates to DMC catalysts which consist of at least 10% by weight, based on the weight of the DMC catalysts, of a crystalline multimetal cyanide compound whose X-ray diffractogram shows sharp reflections at at least the d values
- the invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the DMC catalysts according to the invention and their use as catalysts for the polymerization of alkylene oxides.
- the X-ray diffractograms were determined at a wavelength non 1.5406 A at room temperature.
- the other multimetal cyanide compounds of the DMC catalysts according to the invention can be crystalline or amorphous, preferably crystalline.
- they are multimetal cyanide compounds with the same empirical formula as the multimetal cyanide compounds with the structure described above.
- the other multimetal cyanide compounds are crystalline and monoclinic.
- the DMC catalyst can also consist entirely of the multimetal cyanide compound described in more detail above. With a content of less than 10% by weight of the multimetal cyanide compound characterized in more detail above, the positive effect of the compound on the catalytic properties of the DMC catalysts can only be demonstrated to a very small extent.
- the multimetal cyanide compound characterized in more detail above has a monoclinic crystal system.
- the unit cell of this monoclinic crystal system preferably has the following lattice parameters:
- the monoclinic multimetal cyanide compound shows the following reflections:
- the multimetal cyanide compounds according to the invention preferably have the general formula (I)
- M 1 is a metal ion selected from the group containing Zn 2+ ,
- M 2 is a metal ion selected from the group containing Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , Co 3+ , Mn 2+ , Mn 3+ , Ni 2+ V 4+ , V 5+ , Cr 2+ , Cr 3+ , Rh 3+ , Ru 2+ , Ir 3+ ,
- A is an anion selected from the group consisting of halide, hydroxide, sulfate, carbonate, cyanide, thiocyanate, isocyanate, cyanate, carboxylate, oxalate or nitrate,
- X is an anion selected from the group consisting of halide, hydroxide, sulfate, carbonate, cyanide, thiocyanate, isocyanate, cyanate, carboxylate, oxalate, nitrate or nitrite (N0 2 ⁇ ), and the uncharged species CO, H0 and NO,
- a water-miscible ligand selected from the group comprising alcohols aldehydes, ketones, ethers, polyethers, esters, polyesters, polycarbonate, ureas, amides, nitriles and sulfides or mixtures thereof,
- P is an organic additive selected from the group consisting of polyethers, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyalkylene glycol sorbitan esters, polyalkylene glycol glycidyl ethers, polyacrylamide, poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid), polyacrylic acid, poly (acrylamide-co-maleic acid), polyacrylonitrile, polyalkyl - acrylates, polyalkyl methacrylates, polyvinyl methyl ether, poly vinyl ethyl ether, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, poly-N- vinyl pyrrolidone, poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone-co-acrylic acid), poly-vinyl methyl ketone, poly (4-vinyl phenol), poly (acrylic acid-co-styrene), oxazoline polymers, polyalkyleneimines, maleic acid and maleic anhydride copolymer, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyacetates, ionic surfaces
- a, b, d, g and n are integer or fractional numbers greater than zero
- c, f, e, h and k are integer or fractional numbers greater than zero
- f and k may only be zero if c is non-zero and A is exclusively carboxylate, oxalate or nitrate.
- an aqueous solution of a cyanometalate compound in particular a cyanometalate hydrogen acid or a cyanometalate salt
- a metal salt of the general formula M ⁇ fXJ n the symbols having the meaning explained above, united.
- a stoichiometric excess of the metal salt is used.
