Description

COMPLEXES OF METAL IN BRIDGE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to certain bridging Group 4 transition metal complexes possessing a unique bridging structure and in olefin polymerization catalysts obtained from said complexes. In one form, this invention modalizes Group 4 transition metal complexes containing a single bridged or divalent ligand structure having two ligands attached to delocalized, anionic p linked thereto. In a second embodiment, the invention relates to transition metal complexes of type 4 containing a single bridged ligand containing one of the delocalized, anionic, p-linked portions above and an amido or anionic phosphide moiety. In a third embodiment, the invention relates to Group 4 transition metal complexes containing a single bridged ligand containing two anionic amido and / or phosphido groups. In all cases, the only bridge consists of either boron or aluminum atoms, which are further bound with nitrogen-containing groups. In Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Enql. 36, 21, p. 2338-2340 (1997) and in Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon, 124 & 125, p. 561-565 (1997) boron bridged ferrocenphanes substituted with amido to form poly (ferrocenes) through ring-opening polymerization. The synthesis and characterization of the metal of! Group 1 and 2 and tin complexes of 1,2-bis (dimethylamino) -1,2-di-9-fluorenyldiborans are described in Chem. Ver., 127, p. 1901 -1908, (1994). The diborans that have a similar structure for those employed in the previous study were described by the same researchers in Eur. J. Inorg. Chem., P. 505-509 (1998). Ferrocenphane derivatives of bisborans similar for studies of additional molecular property were described by L Organomet. Chem .. 530 p. 1 17-120 (1997). In Organometallics. 16, p. 4546-4550 (1997) describes boron bridged metallocene complexes including boron dimethyl sulphide and phosphine adducts for possible use in Ziegler-Natta type olefin polymerizations. Non-bridging metallocenes, such as 1-t-butyl-4, 4-bis (? 5-cyclopentadienyl) -2- (2, 2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidino) -1 -aza-2- bora-4-titana-cyclobutane, are described in Chem, Ver. (1987). 120 (5), 863-5. In the patent literature, bridging metal complexes for use as olefin polymerization catalyst components, including complexes such as those containing one or more boron atoms in the bridge are generally described by EP-A-416,881. 5 and WO 98/39369. Figures 1 and 2 are the crystal structures (ORTEP) of the complexes of Examples 2 and 5, respectively. The present invention relates to certain bridging Group 4 transition metal complexes and to polymerization catalysts obtained from such complexes corresponding to the following formulas Formula 1 or Formula 2 wherein: M is titanium, zirconium or hafnium in the oxidation state +4, +3 or +2; Y1 and Y2 are independently a p-linked, cyclic or non-cyclic, anionic, NR1, PR1 group; NR 2 or PR12; Z is boron or aluminum; Q is a neutral, anionic or dianionic ligand group depending on the oxidation state of M; j is 1, 2 or 3 depending on the oxidation state of M and the electronic nature of Q; T independently of each occurrence is: R1 is independently of each occurrence hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl group, a tri (hydrocarbyl) siliio group, or a tri (hydrocarbyl) silylhydrocarbyl group, said R1 groups containing up to 20 carbon atoms not counting hydrogen; R5 is R1 or N (R) 2; and two groups R1 together or one or more groups R1 together with R5 may optionally be joined to form a ring structure. It is understood that the above metal complexes can exist as dimers and that one or more Lewis bases can optionally be coordinated with the complex or its dimer and that when Y1 or Y2 are the neutral ligands, NR1 or PR12, the link to M is a covalent coordinate link in place of a covalent bond. In addition, when T is R12N and Z is boron, the bond between T and Z, particularly in the compounds of formula 1, may possess double bond characteristics, ie, the resulting group may be more accurately represented by the formula R12N In addition, in accordance with the present invention, unique ligand structures of the following formulas are provided: Formula 1 A or Formula 2A wherein Z, T, R1 and R5 are as defined above; Y1 and Y2 are a cyclic or non-cyclic anionic p-linked group, NR1, or PR1 and R4 is hydrogen or a trimethylsilyl group. Said ligand groups of Formula 1 A or 2A are easily prepared by contacting sources of the anionic groups (Y1 R4) ~ and (Y2 R4) ~, particularly the Grignard solution or its alkali metal salts, with the compound TZY3 or (TZ) 2Y32, where Y3 is a leaving group, especially halide, either as net reactants or in an inert solvent, using temperatures from -100 ° C to 150 ° C. Further, according to the present invention there is provided a process for preparing complexes of Formula 1 and Formula 2 in a high racemic purity in the formal oxidation state +2 by contacting ligand structures of Formula 1 A or 2A, wherein R 4 is trimethylsilyl, or deprotonated dianionic derivatives of ligand structures of Formula 1 A or Formula 2A, with a Group 4 precursor of Formula 3: Formula 3 where M and Y3 are as defined above. R6 independently of each occurrence is hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl group, a tri (hydrocarbyl) silyl group, a tri (hyd rocarbyl) silylhydrocarbyl group, said R6 groups containing up to 20 carbon atoms not counting nitrogen; and LB is a Lewis base, especially an ether, amine or phosphine of up to 20 carbons.
The reaction is desirably conducted in an inert solvent, especially an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon or ether, using temperatures of -100 ° C to 150 ° C. This technique is similar to that described in the patent application of E. U. A. 265,641, filed March 10, 1999, which differs in that different starting reagents are used. In addition in accordance with the present invention, suitable catalyst compositions are provided for the polymerization of polymerizable addition monomers comprising one or more metal complexes of Formula 1 or 2 in combination with one or more activating or activated cocatalysts through the use of an activation technique. Finally, according to the present invention there is also provided a polymerization process comprising contacting one or more polymerizing addition monomers with a catalyst composition comprising one or more metal complexes of Formula 1 or 2 in combination with one or more activating cocatalysts or activated by the use of an activation technique. The polymerization is preferably carried out under solution, slurry, slurry or high pressure process conditions, and the catalyst composition or its individual components can be used in a heterogeneous state, ie, a supported state or in a homogeneous state as it is dictated by the process conditions. The catalyst of the present invention can be used in combination with one or more additional catalysts of the same or different nature either simultaneously or sequentially in the same reactor or in separate reactors. The catalyst compositions according to the present invention possess improved catalytic efficiencies and improved thermal stability allowing their use under higher operating temperatures compared to catalysts comprising conventional metal complexes. All references to the Periodic Table of the Elements herein should refer to the Periodic Table of the Elements published and authorized by CRC Press, Inc., 1997. Also, any references to a group or groups must be to groups or groups reflected in this Periodic Table of the Elements using the IU PAC system to list groups. By the term "attached to p" as used herein, it is meant that the union occurs through an interaction involving delocalized electrons. Finally, the term "leaving group" represents a ligand that is easily displaced by another ligand under conditions of ligand exchange. The transition metal complexes of Group 4 herein contain a unique bridging group: (T-Z) or (T-Z) 2, which imparts improved catalytic properties when used in combination with one or more activating cocatalysts or activation techniques in the presence of polymerizable addition monomers. Although not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the improvement in the catalytic properties of said complexes may be due to the electronic properties of the portions ZT, Y1 and Y2.

In general, the complexes of the present invention can be prepared by first converting the ligands represented by the formulas 1a and 2a to a dianion salt (wherein R4 is H) through the reaction with a metal amide such as bis (trimethylsilyl) sodium amide or lithium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide). Then, the dianionic ligand derivative is reacted with a precursor of the metal complex such as MY34, MY33, or MY32 (and the corresponding Lewis base adducts), wherein Y3 is as defined above. Alternatively, reactions employing the neutral ligand, wherein R 4 is hydrogen, may be employed in combination with metal precursors M (N R 32) 4 or MR 34. (The preparation of the ligands of the formula 2a wherein Y1 and Y2 are each a group NR1 can be easily obtained by contacting a diboro-tetrahydrocarbyl oxide compound of the formula ((R7O) 2B) 2, wherein R7 it is hydrocarbyl of 1 to 10 carbon atoms or 2 R7 groups together are dihydrocarbyl of 2 to 20 carbon atoms, especially bis (catecholate) diboro with a dihydrocarbylamide of 1 to 4 carbon atoms of alkali metal, especially lithium dimethylamide). All the above reactions are conducted in an inert solvent such as a hydrocarbon solvent or an ethereal solvent on the temperature scale of -100 ° C to 1 50 ° C. An especially useful metal complex precursor reagent corresponds to formula 3: Formula 3 where M is zirconium, R1 and LB are as previously defined and R3 in each occurrence is chloride. The use of this precursor in the ligand reaction of this invention causes the resulting metal complex to have a high racemic purity, which is especially useful in the stereospecific polymerization of α-olefins. Alternatively, when R4 in the structures of formulas 1a and 2a is a trimethylsilyl group, the ligand can be reacted directly with any of the above metal complex precursors of formula 3, employing similar reaction conditions. The recovery of the desired Group 4 transition metal complex is achieved through the separation of the product from any alkaline or alkaline earth metal salt or devolatilization of the reaction medium. If desired, extraction can be employed in a secondary solvent. Alternatively, if the desired product is an insoluble precipitate, filtration techniques or other separation techniques may be employed. The final purification, if required, can be achieved through the recrystallization of an inert solvent, using low temperatures if necessary.

The bulk electrolysis technique involves the electrochemical oxidation of the metal complex under electrolysis conditions in the presence of a supporting electrolyte comprising an inert anion, without coordination. In the art, solvents, support electrolytes and electrolytic potentials are used for electrolysis so that the electrolysis by-products that could render the metal complex catalytically inactive are not substantially formed during the reaction. More particularly, suitable solvents are materials that are: liquids under the conditions of electrolysis (generally at temperatures of 0 to 100 ° C), capable of dissolving the supporting electrolyte, and inert. "Inert solvents" are those that are not reduced or oxidized under the reaction conditions used for electrolysis. It is generally possible in view of the desired electrolysis reaction to select a solvent and a supporting electrolyte that are not affected by the electrical potential used for the desired electrolysis. Preferred solvents include difluorobenzene (all isomers), dimethoxyethane (DME), and mixtures thereof. The electrolysis can be conducted in a standard electrolytic cell containing an anode and cathode (also referred to as the working electrode and electrode, respectively). The materials suitable for the construction of cells are glass, plastic, ceramic and metal coated with glass. The electrodes are prepared from inert conductive materials, which means that they are not affected by the reaction mixture or reaction conditions. Platinum or palladium are preferred inert conductive materials. Usually, an ion permeable membrane such as a fine glass frit separates the cell into separate compartments, the working electrode compartment and the counter electrode compartment. The working electrode is immersed in a reaction medium comprising the metal complex to be activated, solvent, support electrolyte and any other materials desired to moderate the electrolysis or stabilize the resulting complex. The counter electrode is immersed in a mixture of the solvent and supporting electrolyte. The desired voltage can be determined through theoretical calculations or experimentally by sweeping the cell using a reference electrode electrode such as a plate electrode submerged in the cell electrolyte. The background cell current, the current expelled in the absence of electrolysis, is also determined. The electrolysis is completed when the current falls from the desired level to the previous level. In this way, the complete conversion of the initial metal complex can be easily detected. Suitable supporting electrolytes are salts comprising a cation and a non-coordinating anion, compatible, A-. The preferred support electrolytes are salts corresponding to the formula G + A "; wherein: G + is a cation that is non-reactive to the starting and resulting complex, and A-s as previously defined.
Examples of cations, G +, include ammonium or tetrahydrocarbyl substituted phosphonium cations having up to 40 non-hydrogen atoms. Preferred cations are tetra (n-butylammonium) cations and tetraethylammonium cations. During the activation of the complexes of the present invention through bulk electrolysis, the cation of the supporting electrolyte passes to the counter electrode and A migrates to the working electrode to become the anion of the resulting oxidized product. Both the solvent and the supporting electrolyte cation are reduced in the counter electrode by an amount equal to molar with the amount of oxidized metal complex formed in the working electrode. Preferred support electrolytes are tetrahydrocarbylammonium or tetrakis (fluoroaryl) borate salts having from 1 to 10 carbons in each hydrocarbyl or perfluoroaryl group, especially tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate of tetra (n-butylammonium). An additional newly discovered electrochemical technique for the generation of activating cocatalysts is the electrolysis of a disilane compound in the presence of a source of a compatible anion without coordination. This technique is described more specifically and is claimed in the patent application of E. U. A. previously mentioned series No. 304,314, published in equivalent form to WO96 / 08519. The prior electrochemical activation technique and activation cocatalysts can also be used in combination. An especially preferred combination is a mixture of a tris (hydrocarbyl) aluminum or tri (hydrocarbyl) borane compound having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in each hydrocarbyl group with an oligomeric or polymeric alumoxane compound. The molar ratio of catalyst / cocatalyst employed preferably ranges from 1: 10,000 to 100: 1, most preferably from 1: 5000 to 10: 1 and preferably from 1: 1000 to 1: 1. Alumoxane, when used by itself as an activating cocatalyst, it is employed in a large amount, generally at least 100 times the amount of the metal complex on a molar basis. The tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane when used as an activating cocatalyst is sent in a molar ratio to the metal complex of 0.5: 1 to 10: 1, preferably 1: 1 to 6: 1 and most preferably 1: 1. to 5: 1. The remaining activating cocatalysts are generally employed in an approximately equimolar amount with the metal complex. The catalysts, whether supported or not supported in any of the above methods, can be used to polymerize ethylenically and / or acetylenically unsaturated monomers having from 2 to 100,000 carbon atoms either alone or in combination. Preferred monomers include the α-olefins of 2 to 20 carbon atoms especially ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-ketene, 1-decene, long chain macromolecular α-olefins and mixtures thereof.

Long chain macromolecular α-olefins are vinyl-terminated polymeric remnants formed in situ during continuous solution polymerization reactions. Under suitable processing conditions said long chain macromolecular units are easily polymerized in the polymer product together with the ethylene and other short chain olefin monomers to give small amounts of long chain branching in the resulting polymer. Preferred monomers include a combination of ethylene and one or more comonomers selected from monovinyl aromatic monomers, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexane, norbonadiene, ethylidene norbornene, aliphatic α-olefins of 3 to 10 carbon atoms (especially propylene, isobutylene, 1 -butene, 1 -hexene, 3-methyl-1 -pentene, 4-methyl-1 -pentene, and 1-ketene) and dienes of 4 to 40 carbon atoms. The most preferred monomers are mixtures of ethylene and styrene; mixtures of ethylene, propylene and styrene; mixtures of ethylene, styrene and a non-conjugated diene, especially ethylene norbornene or 1,4-hexadiene, and mixtures of ethylene, propylene and a non-conjugated diene, especially ethylidene norbornene or 1,4-hexadiene. In general, the polymerization can be achieved under conditions well known in the prior art for polymerization reactions of the Ziegler-Natta or Kaminsky-Sinn type, that is, temperatures of 0-250 ° C, preferably from 30 to 200 ° C. ° C and atmospheric pressures to 10,000 atmospheres. If desired, powder polymerization can be employed in the suspension, solution, slurry, gas phase, and solid state or other process conditions. A support may be employed, especially silica, alumina or a polymer (especially polytetrafluoroethylene or a polyolefin), and desirably used when the catalysts are used in a gas phase polymerization process. The support is preferably used in an amount to provide a weight ratio of catalyst (based on the metal): support from 1: 100,000 to 1:10, preferably from 1: 50,000 to 1:20 and most preferably from 1 : 10,000 to 1: 30. In most polymerization reactions, the molar ratio of catalyst: polymerizable compounds employed is from 10"12.1 to 0.01, most preferably 10" 9.1 to 10"5.1.The suitable solvents used for solution polymerization are inert liquids. Examples include straight and branched chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane and mixtures thereof: cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane and mixtures thereof perfurated hydrocarbons such as perfluorinated 4- to 10-carbon alkanes, and alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene Suitable solvents also include liquid olefins, which can act as monomers or comonomers Catalysts can be used in combination with at least one homogenous or heterogeneous polymerization catalysts additional eo in the same reactor or separate reactors connected in series or in parallel to prepare polymer blends having desirable properties. An example of said process is described in WO 94/00500, equivalent to the patent of E. U. A. Series No. 07 / 904,770, as well as US Patent Series No. 08/10958, filed January 29, 1993. Using the catalysts herein, homopolymers and copolymers are easily obtained in a highly efficient process. of α-olefin having densities of 0.85 g / cm3 to 0.96 g / cm3, and melt flow rates of 0.001 to 1000.0 dg / min. The catalysts of the present invention are particularly advantageous for the production of ethylene homopolymers and ethylene / α-olefin copolymers having high levels of long chain branching. The use of the catalysts of the present invention in continuous polymerization processes, especially continuous solution polymerization processes, allows high reactor temperatures, which favor the formation of vinyl-terminated polymer chains, to be incorporated into the developing polymer. thus giving a long chain branching. The use of the catalyst compositions of the present invention advantageously allows the economical production of ethylene / α-olefin copolymers having a processability similar to the high pressure free radical that produces low density polyethylene. The catalyst compositions herein can be advantageously employed to prepare olefin polymers having improved processing properties by polymerizing ethylene alone or ethylene / α-olefin mixtures with low levels of an "H" branching induction diene, such as norbornadiene, 1, 7-octadiene or 1, 9-decadiene. The only combination of elevated reactor temperaturesHigh molecular weight (or low melt indexes) at high reactor temperatures and high comonomer reactivity advantageously allow the economical production of polymer having excellent physical properties and processability. Preferably, said polymers comprise ethylene, an α-olefin of 3 to 20 carbon atoms and a branching comonomer "H". Preferably, said polymers are produced in a solution process, most preferably a continuous solution process. The catalyst composition can be prepared as a homogeneous catalyst through the addition of requisite components to a solvent or diluent wherein the polymerization will be conducted. The catalyst composition can also be prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst by absorbing, depositing or chemically bonding the requisite components in an inorganic or inert organic solid. Examples of such solids include, silica, silica gel, alumina, clays, expended clays (aerogels), aluminosilicates, tricalkylaluminium compounds, and organic or inorganic polymeric materials, especially polyolefins. In a preferred embodiment, a heterogeneous catalyst is prepared by reacting an inorganic compound, preferably a tri (alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms) aluminum compound with an activating cocatalyst, especially an ammonium salt of a hydroxyaryl (trispentafluorophenyl) borate. such as an ammonium salt of (4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tertiary butyl-phenyl) tris- (pentafluorophenyl) borate or (4-hydroxyphenyl) -tris (pentafluorophenyl) borate. This activating cocatalyst is deposited on the support by any coprecipitation, imbibition, spraying, or similar technique, and then removing any solvent or diluent. The metal complex is added to the support, also by adsorption, deposition or by chemically bonding the same to the support, either subsequently, simultaneously or before the addition of the activating cocatalyst. When prepared in a heterogeneous or supported form, the catalyst composition is employed in a slurry or gas phase polymerization. As a practical limitation, slurry polymerization occurs in liquid diluents wherein the polymer product is substantially insoluble. Preferably, the diluent for the slurry polymerization is one or more hydrocarbons with less than 5 carbon atoms. If desired, saturated hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane or butane may be used wholly or in part as the diluent. Also, the α-olefin monomer or a mixture of different α-olefin monomers can be used as a whole or part of the diluent. Most preferably, at least one main part of the diluent comprises the α-olefin monomer (s) to be polymerized. At all times, the individual ingredients as well as the recovered catalyst components must be protected from oxygen and moisture. Therefore, catalyst components and catalysts must be prepared and recovered in an atmosphere free of oxygen and moisture. Preferably, therefore, the reactions are carried out in the presence of an inert, dry gas such as, for example, nitrogen. The polymerization can be carried out as an intermittent or continuous polymerization process. A continuous process is preferred, wherein in case of catalyst, ethylene, comonomer and the optional solvent are continuously supplied to the reaction zone and the polymer product is continuously removed therefrom. Without limiting the scope of the invention in any way, a means for carrying out said polymerization process is as follows: in a stirred tank reactor, the monomers to be polymerized are continuously introduced together with a solvent a chain transfer agent optional. The reactor contains a liquid phase composed substantially of monomers together with any additional solvent or diluent and dissolved polymer. If desiredA small amount of a branching induction diene "H ° such as norbornadiene, 1,7-octadiene or 1,9-decadiene can also be added.The catalyst and cocatalyst are continuously introduced into the reactor liquid phase. and the pressure of the reactor, can be controlled by adjusting the solvent / monomer ratio, the rate of catalyst addition, as well as through coils, cooling or heating jackets, or both.The speed of polymerization is controlled through the speed of catalyst addition The ethylene content of the polymer product is determined by the ratio of ethylene to comonomer in the reactor, which is controlled by manipulating the respective feed rates of these components into the reactor. it is controlled, optionally, controlling other polymerization variables such as temperature, monomer concentration or tr through the above-mentioned chain transfer agent, such as a stream of hydrogen introduced into the reactor, as is well known in the art. The reactor effluent is contacted with a catalyst annihilation agent such as water. The polymer solution is optionally heated, and the polymer product is recovered by vaporizing gaseous monomers as well as the residual solvent or diluent under reduced pressure, and, if necessary, conducting further devolatilization in equipment such as a devolatilization extruder. In a continuous process, the average residence time of the catalyst and the polymer in the reactor is generally from about 5 minutes to 8 hours, and preferably from 10 minutes to 6 hours. By using a catalyst incorporating large amounts of hindered monovinyl monomer, the hindered monovinyl homopolymer formed from the residual amounts of the monomer is substantially reduced. The ethylene homopolymers and the ethylene / α-olefin copolymers are particularly suitable for the preparation according to the invention. In general, said polymers have densities of 0.88 to 0.96 g / ml. Typically, the molar ratio of α-olefin comonomer to ethylene used in the polymerization can be varied in order to adjust the density of the resulting polymer. When materials with a density scale of 0.91 to 0.93 are produced, the ratio of comonomer to monomer is less than 0.2, preferably less than 0.05, and still most preferably less than 0.02, and even less than 0.01. In the above polymerization process, it has been found that hydrogen effectively controls the molecular weight of the resulting polymer. Typically, the molar ratio of hydrogen to monomer is less than about 0.5, preferably less than 0.2, preferably less than 0.05 and still most preferably less than 0.02, and even more less than 0.01.
