Abstract

The paper reports the 1H NMR characterization results for the products of rac-Et(2-MeInd)2ZrMe2 activation by diisobutylaluminum aryloxide 2,6-tBu2PhO-)AliBu2 (hereinafter referred to as AliBu2(OAr)), with and without olefins (1-hexene/ethylene/propylene). The olefin-free reaction between the catalyst and AliBu2(OAr) caused the decomposition of dimethylated zirconocene with liberation of methane and isobutene, likely due to the formation of a cationic complex [rac-Et(2-MeInd)2ZrMe]+[MeAliBu2(OAr)], unstable at room temperature. In the presence of 1-hexene, rac-Et(2-MeInd)2ZrMe2 was effectively activated by diisobutylaluminum aryloxide to generate a catalytically active intermediate with a growing polymer chain—[rac-Et(2-MeInd)2ZrCH2CH(iBu)Pol]+· [MeAliBu2(OAr)]—and to form polyhexene. After complete depletion of hexene-1, the working catalyst was deactivated with the formation of rac-Et(2-MeInd)2Zr(H)CH2CH(iBu)Pol, MeAliBu(OAr), and isobutene. In the presence of ethylene and propylene, the 1H NMR signals of the olefins weakened over time, and insoluble polymer particles accumulated on the tube walls. A reaction mechanism was proposed for the rac-Et(2-MeInd)2ZrMe2/AliBu2(OAr) system, accounting for pathways both with and without olefins.
