摘要
An ansa-zirconocene complex having a vicinally di-tert-butyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand, Me2Si(C5H4)(C5H2-3,4-t-Bu-2)ZrCl2 (1), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (orthorhombic, space group: Pbca, a = 18.3690(8), b = 18.0749(12), c = 13.2039(9) Angstrom, V = 4383.9(4) Angstrom(3), Z = 8, R = 0.0283, R-w = 0.0291). Complex 1 has a very much twisted structure due to its steric repulsion. In solution, however, the two tert-butyl groups are magnetically equivalent even at -80 degrees C, indicating very fast oscillation of the bridged cyclopentadienyl unit with respect to the metal center. Complex 1 and nonbridged zirconocene dichlorides with tert-butyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands, (C5H4-t-Bu)(2)ZrCl2 (2), (C5H3-1,2-t-Bu-2)(2)ZrCl2 (3) and (C5H3-1,3-t-Bu-2)(2)ZrCl2 (4), have been employed as methylaluminoxane (MAO)-activated catalysts for polymerization of 1-hexene under high pressure conditions (100-750 MPa = ca. 1000-7500 atm). Comparison with some non and methyl-substituted metallocenes are also discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
