    No full text
    Chemical implantation of Group 5 cations [Nb(III), Nb(V), and Ta(V)] has been carried out under mild conditions by the reaction of N,N-dialkylcarbamato derivatives M(O2CNR2)n (M = Nb, Ta) with silanol groups of amorphous silica, carbon dioxide, and secondary amine being released in the process. The amount of supported cations depends on the metal and on the initial number of N,N-dialkylcarbamato ligands on M; partial reduction to the +4 oxidation state occurs in the case of Nb(O2CNR2)5

    Chemical implantation of Group 4 cations [Ti(III), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Hf(IV)] has been carried out under mild conditions by the reaction of polycyclopentadienyl- (MCpn; M = Ti, n = 3, 4; M = Zr, Hf, n = 4), mixed cyclopentadienyl/N,N-dialkylcarbamato (MLx(O2CNEt2)y; M = Ti, L = Cp, C5Me5 (Cp*), x = 2, y = 1; M = Hf, L = Cp, x = 1, y = 3), and N,N-dialkylcarbamato (M(O2CNR2)n, M = Ti, n = 3, R = iPr; M = Ti, Hf, n = 4, R = Et; M = Zr, n = 4, R = iPr) derivatives, with the silanol groups of amorphous silica. Cyclopentadiene/ pentamethylcyclopentadiene and/or carbon dioxide and the secondary amine are released in the process. The amount of implanted cations depends on the metal and on the ligands, the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complex being less reactive than the unsubstituted congener. The starting complexes and the final products have been characterized by EPR or by 13C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy

    A solid catalyst component for the (co)polymn. of α-olefins having general formula (I): ZrnMA1xC1Mgp (I) wherein : M represents titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), or mixts. thereof; n is a no. ranging from 0.01 to 2; x is a no. ranging from 0.1 to 4; y is a no. ranging from 5 to 53; p is a no. ranging from 0 to 15; obtained by means of a process comprising putting at least one zirconium arene in contact with at least one metal compd. and, optionally, with at least one compd. of magnesium. Said solid catalyst component can be advantageously used as a solid component in a catalyst for the (co)polymn. of α-olefins. Said catalyst can be advantageously used in a process for the (co)polymn. of α-olefins

    The niobium N,N-dialkylcarbamates Nb(O2CNR2)n [n = 5, R = Me, 1, Et, 2; n = 4, R = Et, 3; n = 3, R = Et, 4], in combination with organoaluminum cocatalysts, were found to be active in the polymerization of ethylene. The effects of the main reaction parameters (solvent, ethylene pressure, time, temperature, cocatalyst, reactivator) on the polymerization reaction were investigated in detail. When 2 was used as precursor in combination with trimethylaluminum (TMA)-depleted MAO and 1,2-dichloroethane as reactivator, activity up to 110 kgpolyethylene molNb−1 h−1 bar−1 was ascertained and linear, high molecular weight polyethylene was produced. The catalytic activities related to the different precursors increase along the series 2 > 1 > 3 > 4. The 1:1 reaction of 2 with Al2Et3Cl3 proceeds via ligand exchange, giving the X-ray characterized mixed alkyl-carbamato derivative [Al3(μ-O2CNEt2)6Et2]Cl (6), in admixture with presumable species containing niobium in lower oxidation state. The latter and not the former seem to be responsible for directing the polymerization process, according to the evidence that 6, produced by ligand exchange between Al(O2CNEt2)3 and AlEt2Cl, is not active under analogous experimental conditions
