Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a metallocene compound, a catalyst composition containing the metallocene compound, and a process for producing the olefin polymer using the same. BACKGROUND ART [0002]

The present invention relates to a metallocene compound having a novel structure capable of controlling the microstructure of an olefin-based polymer while having high activity, a catalyst composition containing the metallocene compound, and a process for producing an olefin polymer using the metallocene compound.

Ziegler-Natta catalysts of titanium or vanadium compounds have been widely used for the commercial production of polyolefins. Although the Ziegler-Natta catalysts have high activity, they have a wide molecular weight distribution of the produced polymers because of their high activity, The uniformity of the composition is not uniform and there is a limit in ensuring desired physical properties.

Recently, a metallocene catalyst in which a transition metal such as titanium, zirconium, or hafnium and a ligand containing a cyclopentadiene functional group are bonded has been developed and widely used. The metallocene compound is generally activated by using aluminoxane, borane, borate or other activator. For example, a metallocene compound having a ligand containing a cyclopentadienyl group and two sigma chloride ligands uses aluminoxane as an activator. These metallocene catalysts are single active site catalysts having one kind of active site. The molecular weight distribution of the produced polymer is narrow and the molecular weight, stereoregularity, crystallinity, especially reactivity of the comonomer can be greatly controlled depending on the structure of the catalyst and the ligand There is an advantage. However, since the polyolefin polymerized with the metallocene catalyst has a low melting point and a narrow molecular weight distribution, it is difficult to apply the polyolefin in a field where the productivity is remarkably decreased due to the influence of the extrusion load, I have done a lot of effort to adjust.

In particular, in order to solve the problems of the above-mentioned metallocene catalysts, many metallocene compounds coordinated with a ligand compound containing a hetero atom have been introduced. Specific examples of such a metallocene compound containing a hetero atom include an azaferrocene compound having a cyclopentadienyl group containing a nitrogen atom, a functional group such as a dialkylamine is connected to a cyclopentadienyl group as an additional chain Or a titanium (lV) metallocene compound into which a cyclic alkylamine functional group is introduced such as piperidine, and the like.

However, among all of these attempts, the metallocene catalysts that are actually applied to commercial plants are only a few levels, and the anthra-metallocene compounds capable of controlling the microstructure of the olefinic polymer, Research is still needed.

The present invention is to provide a ligand compound and a metallocene compound having a novel structure capable of controlling the microstructure of an olefin-based polymer while having high activity.

(3) Method of measuring physical properties of polymer

1) Catalytic activity: Calculated as the ratio of the weight of polymer produced (kg PP) per unit time (h) to the catalyst content (mmol and g of catalyst) used.

2) Melting point (Tm) of polymer: The melting point of the polymer was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC, DSC 2920, manufacturer: TA instrument). Specifically, the polymer was heated to 220 ° C., and then the temperature was maintained for 5 minutes. After the temperature was further cooled to 20 ° C., the temperature was increased again. The temperature rising rate and the falling rate were adjusted to 10 ° C./min Respectively.

3) Particle size distribution (PSD)

After injecting the sample into a hopper with a light diffraction particle size analyzer (Symatec HELOS), the APS (Acerage Particle Size), the span value, and the content of 75 μm or less (fine powder) were confirmed by setting the method in the range of 50 to 3500 μm.
