Chen Tan, Wen-Min Pang, Chang-Le Chen. A Phenol-containing
A phenol-containing dibenzhydryl-based
α
-diimine ligand bearing hydroxy group on
para
-position of aniline moiety was designed
synthesized
and investigated in Ni- and Pd-catalyzed ethylene polymerization. The Ni complex bearing hydroxy groups resulted in not only high polyethylene molecular weight (
M
n
up to 1.5 × 10
6
)
but also significantly increased melting temperature (
T
m
up to 123 °C) and greatly decreased branching density (33/1000C) versus the Ni catalyst bearing OMe group on
para
-position of aniline moiety. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the deprotonation of the phenol moiety generated a phenoxide bearing strong electron-donating O
−
substituent by methylaluminoxane (MAO) cocatalyst. The Pd complexes bearing hydroxy groups exhibited similar catalytic properties to those of the Pd catalyst bearing OMe groups did.
