Definitions
- Olefin/carbon monoxide copolymers are prepared by contacting these monomers with nickel complexes of selected diphosphine ligands. Also disclosed is a novel phosphorous containing ligand.
- Olefin/carbon monoxide copolymers are items of commerce, being useful for injection molded parts for various industrial uses. Usually these copolymers are alternating (to a great extent) copolymers. The most common method of making these polymers is catalyzing the copolymerization with various complexes of palladium. While these complexes are satisfactory from a reaction viewpoint, economically they have the great disadvantage of using palladium, a very expensive metal . Thus cheaper catalysts that would make these polymers are being sought .
- each Ar is aryl or substituted aryl; each R is independently hydrogen, hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl; Cy is cyclohexyl; each R 4 is independently alkyl containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms ;
- R is hydrogen or n-alkyl containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and each R 6 is independently hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl .
- Cy is cyclohexyl; each R is independently alkyl containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms; R is hydrogen or n-alkyl containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms ; and each R is hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl .
- hydrocarbyl group is a univalent group containing only carbon and hydrogen. If not otherwise stated, it is preferred that hydrocarbyl groups herein contain 1 to about 30 carbon atoms.
- substituted hydrocarbyl herein is meant a hydrocarbyl group which contains one or more substituent groups which are inert under the process conditions to which the compound containing these groups is subjected. The substituent groups also do not substantially interfere with the process. If not otherwise stated, it is preferred that substituted hydrocarbyl groups herein contain 1 to about 30 carbon atoms. Included in the meaning of "substituted” are heteroaromatic rings. All of the hydrogen atoms in a substituted hydrocarbyl group may be substituted, as in perfluoroalkyl . Other groups may be "substituted" in an analogous manner.
- (inert) functional group herein is meant a group other than hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl which is inert under the process conditions to which the compound containing the group is subjected.
- the functional groups also do not substantially interfere with any process described herein that the compound in which they are present may take part in.
- Examples of functional groups include halo (fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo) , ether such as -OR wherein R is hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl.
- relatively noncoordinating anions or “weakly coordinating anions” are meant those anions as are generally referred to in the art in this manner, and the coordinating ability of such anions is known and has been discussed in the literature, see for instance W. Beck., et al . , Chem . Rev . , vol. 88 p. 1405-1421 (1988), and S. H. Stares, Chem. Rev. , vol. 93, p. 927-942 (1993), both of which are hereby included by reference.
- Such anions are those formed from the aluminum compounds in the immediately preceding paragraph and X " , including R 3 A1X , R 9 2 A1C1X “ , R 9 A1C1 2 X “ , and “R 9 A10X “ “ , wherein R 9 is alkyl.
- Included within the meaning of adding a specified complex of nickel is the addition of ingredients which are known in the art to form such a complex under the process conditions .
- every Ar is phenyl or substituted phenyl, more preferably phenyl.
- each R is independently an alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, more preferably each R 4 is independently methyl or ethyl, and especially every R is ethyl.
- each R is independently alkyl, more preferably each R is independently an alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and especially every R is methyl .
- the amount of compound (I), (II), (III), and/or (IV) supplied to the polymerization process may vary, but is conveniently selected in the range of from about 0.1 to about 2 moles of compound per gram atom of nickel . Preferably, the amount is in the range of from about 0.5 to about 1.5 moles of compound per mole nickel compound.
- Preferred Bronsted acids are strong acids, i.e. those which have a pKa of less than about 6, in particular less than about 4, more in particular less than about 2, when measured in aqueous solution at 18°C.
- suitable Bronstead acids are protic acids that may also participate in the nickel salts, e.g. trifluoroacetic acid.
- protic acids which may be used are sulfonic acids and hydrohalogenic acids, in particular hydrogen fluoride, tetrafluoroboric acid and hexafluoroboric acid (HBF 4 and HBF 5 ) .
- the activity of the catalyst composition may be such that amounts in the range from 10 ' to 10 " gram atom of nickel per mole of olefinically unsaturated compound to be copolymerized are adequate. Preferably, the amount will be from 10 " to 10 " , on the same basis.
- R is hydrogen or an alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, more preferably R is hydrogen (ethylene) or methyl (propylene) , and especially preferably R is hydrogen.
- the molar ratio of on the one hand carbon monoxide to on the other hand the olefinically unsaturated compound (s) may be selected within a wide range, for example in the range of from about 1:50 to about 20:1. However, it is preferred to employ a molar ratio in the range of from about 1:20 to about 2:1.
- the process of the invention is conveniently carried out in the presence of a diluent .
- a diluent is used in which the copolymers are insoluble or virtually insoluble so that they form a suspension upon their formation.
- Recommended diluents are polar organic liquids, such as ketones, ethers, esters or amides.
- protic liquids are used, such as monohydric and dihydric alcohols, in particular the lower alcohols having at most 4 carbon atoms per molecule, such as methanol and ethanol .
- the process of this invention may also be carried out as a gas phase process, in which case the catalyst is typically deposited on a solid particulate material or chemically bound thereto .
- a solid particulate material suspended in the diluent before the monomers are contacted with the catalyst composition.
- Suitable solid particulate materials are silica, polyethylene and a copolymer of carbon monoxide and an olefinically unsaturated compound, preferably a copolymer which is based on the same monomers as the copolymer to be prepared.
- the quantity of the solid particulate material is preferably in the range of from about 0.1 to about 20 g, particularly from about 0.5 to about 10 g, per 100 g diluent .
- the conditions under which the process of the invention is performed include the use of elevated temperatures and pressures, such as between about 0°C and about 200°C, in preferably between about 30°C and about 130°C, and pressures (of ethylene and CO combined) between about 0.1 MPa and about 200 MPa, in particular between about 0.5 MPa and about 10 MPa.
- the pressure of carbon monoxide is typically at least about 0.1 MPa.
- the partial pressure of the CO is approximately equal to the pressure of ethylene.
- the copolymers can be recovered from the polymerization mixture by using conventional techniques. When a diluent is used the copolymers may be recovered by filtration or by evaporation of the diluent. The copolymer may be purified to some extent by washing.
- Copolymers are suitably prepared in which the units originating from carbon monoxide on the one hand and the units originating from the olefinically unsaturated compound (s) on the other hand occur in an alternating or substantially alternating arrangement.
- the term "substantially alternating” will generally be understood by one skilled in the art as meaning that the molar ratio of the units originating from carbon monoxide to the units originating from the olefinically unsaturated compound is above about 35:65, in particular above about 40:60. When polymers are completely alternating this ratio equals 50:50.
- copolymers which have a melting point above 150 °C, as determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) .
- DSC Differential Scanning Calorimetry
- linear copolymers of carbon monoxide and ethylene and linear copolymers of carbon monoxide, ethylene and an ⁇ -olefin which are alternating or substantially alternating fall into this category.
- linear alternating copolymers of carbon monoxide and ethylene or linear alternating copolymers of carbon monoxide, ethylene and an ⁇ -olefin in which the molar ratio of the other ⁇ -olefin (R is n-alkyl) to ethylene is typically above about 1:100, preferably in the range of from about 1:100 to about 1:3, more preferably in the range of about 1:50 to about 1:5.
- the copolymers produced have a number average molecular weight (Mn) of at least about 10,000, more preferably more than about 20,000, and especially preferably more than about 30,000.
- Mn number average molecular weight
- the Mn may be measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography using hexafluoroisopropanol as a solvent .
- the nickel content of the copolymers will typically be above about 0.01 ppm by weight, relative to the weight of the copolymer. It is preferred to prepare copolymers which have a nickel content in the range of from about 0.05 to about 300 ppm, in particular from about 0.1 to about 200 ppm, relative to the weight of the copolymer.
- the copolymers are substantially free, preferably free of palladium. "Substantially free of palladium" means to the skilled person that the palladium content is lower than the value normally achieved when a palladium based catalyst is employed in the copolymerization, for example less than 1 ppm by weight, in particular less than 0.1 ppm, relative to the weight of the copolymer.
- the weight ratio of palladium to nickel is less than about 1:50, in particular less than about 1:100 or most in particular even less than about 1:200.
- This procedure is general for cationic nickel-catalyzed ethylene/carbon monoxide (E/CO) copolymerization.
- a reactor was charged with nickel [II] acetate tetrahydrate (0.05 mmol) and the diphosphine (0.06 mmol) .
- a methanol solution of trifluoroacetic acid (0.2 mmol/5mL) was added, and the reactor was brought out of the drybox.
- the reactor was evacuated, charged with ethylene (350 kPa; all pressures are gauge pressures) and E/CO (1:1, 3.90 MPa) and the reaction was run for 16 h at 90 °C. Under these conditions, the final pressure was 5.17 MPa. Polymer was recovered from the shaker vials, washed with methanol and dried under high vacuum overnight .
- the samples were submitted for Differential Scanning Calorimetry (melting point Tm, determined at a heating rate of 10°C/min on the first heat, and taken as the peak of the endotherm) .
- Example 3 determination of the molecular weight of the polymer by Differential Scanning Calorimetry in hexafluoroisopropanol gave a number average molecular weight of 81,800, and a weight average molecular weight of 129,000.
- Comparative Example A the "Compound" used was
- Example 5 In a drybox, 1.20 g R-(+)-l, 1' -bi-2-naphthol (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, WI, U.S.A.), 2.00 g dicyclohexylphosphorus chloride (Strem Chemical) and 1.70 g triethylamine were dissolved in 25 mL THF . The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 35 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite ® , followed by 3X10mL tetrahydrofuran wash. The combined filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The product was dried in vacuo overnight. White solid was obtained. The conversion was quantitative.
