摘要

By employing electron donor compounds as an innovative approach

the synthesis of low melting point syndiotactic 1

2-polybutadiene was successfully achieved utilizing an iron-based catalyst. This catalytic system exhibits remarkable advantages in terms of high activity and thermal stability

while simultaneously demonstrating the characteristics of a controlled/living polymerization process.

Abstract

In this study

a novel iron-based catalyst system

Fe(acac)

/(isocyanoimino) triptenylphosphorane (IITP)/AlR

was employed for the synthesis of syndiotactic 1

2-polybutadiene in hexane. This catalyst system exhibits remarkably high catalytic activity

achieving a polymerization activity of 762 kg

at 50 °C with a [BD]/[Fe]

molar ratio of 20000. Furthermore

living polymerization characteristic were observed during the investigation of the polymerization kinetics of 1

3-butadiene polymerization. These characteristics were well demonstrated by a narrow molecular weight distribution (PDI≈2.0) of the resulting polybutadiene and a linear relationship between −ln(1 −

) and polymerization time as well as number average molecular weight and polymer yield. The resultant polymer showed a 1

through kinetic studies on polymerization reaction

an apparent activation energy

value of this catalytic system was calculated to be 84.98 kJ·mol

which suggests that high polymerization temperature favors efficient polymerization.
