More particularly this invention relates to a method for improving storage stability of tetrakis (triorganophosphite) nickel compounds.
It is known that an organonickel compound can be reacted with a triorganophosphorous compound to yield a tetrakis (triorganophosphite) nickel compound, which can be precipitated and recovered as a solid product, useful as a polymerization catalyst. It has been found that upon storage, the tetrakis nickel compounds tend to decompose badly after periods of more than a few days, even when stored under a blanket of nitrogen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has now been found that solid tetrakis (triorganophosphite) nickel compounds, contaminated with residual triorganophosphite compounds, can be stored for extended periods of time when stored in a protective atmosphere selected from alcohols and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
In the preparation of a tetrakis (triorganophosphorous) nickel compound, such as described and claimed in US. Pat. Nos 3,152,158 and 3,328,443, a nickel compound can be reacted with a triorganophosphorous compound, and the reaction product comprising complexed zerovalent nickel can be precipitated by pouring the mixture into an inert non-solvent. The precipitated product can be recovered by filtration and is useful as a catalyst. US. Pat. No. 3,243,468 describes and claims the use of such tetrakis nickel compounds in the polymerization of various monomers, such as butadiene.
The tetrakis (triorganophosphite) nickel compounds prepared as described above have been found to be quite sta ble in a completely pure state. It has further been found that when contaminated with relatively small amounts of residual triorganophosphite compounds, the tetrakis nickel compounds tend to be quite unstable during storage, starting to decompose almost immediately, for example within an hour, even when stored under a blanket of nitrogen. One way of obviating or overcoming this problem is to work up and purify the tetrakis nickel compounds to a point that there is no remaining residual triorganophosphite material left as a contaminant. Unfortunately however, this procedure is time consuming and expensive and yields no real benefit since the presence of small amounts of triorganophosphite material does not effect the utility of the tetrakis (triorganophosphite) nickel compounds as polymerization catalysts. As an alternative to the scrupulous scrubbing of the tetrakis nickel compounds to remove all trace of triorganophosphorous contaminants, it has been found that storage stability of the solid tetrakis (triorganophosphorous) nickel compounds can be improved by storing the material in accordance with this inventron.
Broadly, the improved storage stability can be obtained by storing tetrakis (triorganophosphate) nickel, which is contaminated with triorganophosphite, under a protective blanket consisting essentially of an inert non-solvent for said tetrakis (triorganophosphite) nickel. As used herein, the term nonsolvent" refers to compounds which will dissolve less than about 1 percent by weight of the tetrakis (triorganophosphorous) nickel compound while the term solvent" is meant to include compounds in which more than about 1 percent by weight of the tetrakis nickel compounds are soluble. Characteristics of the non-solvents which are useful in the scope of this invention are that they be appreciably miscible with triorganophosphorous contaminant but that the tetrakis nickel product be insoluble therein. Another characteristic of the non-solvent is that it be easily and substantially completely removable from the stored product. Thus, generally, a nonsolvent having a low viscosity is more desirable than one having a high viscosity. Volatility is another factor to be considered in choosing a non-solvent. Since the tetrakis nickel product is generally stored at ambient temperature, the nonsolvent vapor pressure is desirably not excessive at these temperatures. Broadly, the boiling point of the non-solvent can range from about 20 C. to about 300 C. with a preferred range of from about 50 to about 200 C. The non-solvent will of course be inert with respect to both the reactants and the products and be inert to the surrounding atmosphere. Since this atmosphere is usually air, the non-solvent is desirably not readily oxidized under ambient conditions when the storage container is opened, as for example for the periodic removal of portions of the tetrakis nickel compounds.
As indicated above, the alcohols are a preferred class of non-solvents. The alcohols can be primary, secondary or tertiary, and can be monohydric or polyhydric. Preferred alcohols are alkanols having up to about 14 carbon atoms and include for example methanol, ethanol, propanol-l, 2-methylpropanol-l, butanol-l, pentanol-l, 2-ethyl-butanol-l cyclohexanol, octanol-l, dodecanol-l, ethylene glycol and triethylene glycol. Liquid alkanols are especially preferred. Mixtures of these alcohols can also be used. Insofar as the liquid alkanols are commercially available and inexpensive, they are especially preferred.
In addition to the alcohols, it has been found that alkanes are another preferred class of non-solvents. The preferred saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are those which are liquid at ambient temperature. Thus, generally, those saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons having from about five to about 14 carbon atoms are preferred with the c to c, hydrocarbons, such as hexane or heptane, being particularly preferred. The saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons can be used either alone or in combination with other saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and can be either straight or branched chain.
As a general proposition, hydrocarbons other than the saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated hydrocarbons other than the alcohols and alcohol ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, aromatic hydrocarbons, etc., can be classified as solvents for the tetrakis nickel compound and are not useful under the conditions set forth herein. These latter compounds can be used as recrystallization solvents, if recrystallization is needed or desired for the crude tetrakis nickel compound. Solvents are not desirable agents for contacting the tetrakis nickel compounds in storage insofar as it has been found that a solution of the tetrakis nickel compound, when exposed to even traces of air or oxygen, decomposes rapidly in a very short time.
The process of this invention is useful regardless of the structure of the triorganophosphite contaminant or the triorganophosphite ligand in the nickel complex. Examples of wellknown and useful phosphite contaminants and ligands include tri(2-ethyl-hexyl) phosphite, tri(p-methyoxyphenyl) phosphite, triphenylphosphite, trioctylphosphite, triethylphosphite and tn'( methoxymethyl) phosphite.
One method of precipitating the tetrakis nickel compound from the reaction mixture and thereafter storing it, is to use one non-solvent as a precipitant and another non-solvent as the atmosphere to store the filtered product. The preferred practice, however is to use the same non-solvent for both functions. This, of course, avoids the inconvenience and cost of multiple steps. When the tetrakis nickel compound is isolated from its reaction mixture, as by precipitation using an inert non-solvent, the isolation can be carried out in any convenient manner, such as by filtration using known and accepted methods and equipment. The isolated product, in the form of a filter cake, can be washed with a fresh portion of the non-solvent. While not essential, this is a desirable inter mediate step insofar as it is useful to remove at least part of the triorganophosphite contaminant from the precipitated tetrakis nickel compound. Additional filtration can, of course, be used to remove the wash liquid.
The quantity of non-solvent used as an atmosphere to protect the isolated tetrakis nickel compounds is broadly that amount needed to effectively shield the product from an oxidizing atmosphere. Since the catalyst product is substantially insoluble in the non-solvent, a large excess of non-solvent can be used. There is, however, no significant benefit to be derived from the use of a large excess and, in fact, it is preferred to use that amount of non-solvent which just covers the surface of the product.
It has been found that moisture frequently can be a contributing factor to the decomposition of the catalyst and it is therefore desirable to maintain a low level of moisture in the stored product and its immediate atmosphere. This can be conveniently accomplished by using a product prepared under conditions minimizing contact with atmospheric moisture,
