The bridged cyclopentadienyl indenyl (fluorenyl) zirconocene complexes for polyethylene macromonomers

Abstract The synthesis of long-chain branched polyethylene includes the generation of vinyl-terminated polyethylene macromonomers and the copolymerization of these macromonomers with ethylene. Four new bridged cyclopentadienyl indenyl (fluorenyl) zirconocene complexes 1a,b, 2a,b were prepared and showed high activities for ethylene homopolymerization upon the activation of methylaluminoxane. The steric bulk of bridged substituent has a profound effect on the catalytic activity as well as on the molecular weight of resulting polyethylene. Complex 1b showed the highest activity of up to 5.32 × 106 g PE/(mol Zr h) for ethylene homopolymerization at 70 °C, which was higher than that of Cp2ZrCl2. The polyethylenes produced with complexes 1a,d/MAO are mostly vinyl-terminated, possess low molecular weight and fit as macromonomers. The (p -MePh)2C-bridged cyclopentadienyl indenyl zirconocene complex 1a could produce polyethylene macromonomer with selectivity for the vinyl-terminal as high as 94.9%.
