Abstract
Heterogenized alkylaluminoxanes prepared in situ on the montmorillonite (MMT) surface by the partial hydrolysis of AIR3 with water of the support are effective activators for metallocenes. The thermal destruction of isobutylaluminoxane molecules in the MMT-H2O/Al(i-Bu)3 system has been studied by the temperature-programmed desorption method coupled with mass spectrometry (TPD-MS). The process begins at a lower temperature and is more complicated than the destruction of methylaluminoxane (MAO) in MMT-H2O/AlMe3. Isobutyl-substituted aluminoxane and the ansa-metallocene Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 form metal-alkyl complexes that are more active in propylene polymerization than methyl-substituted aluminoxane. The TPD-MS study of the initial stages of gas-phase ethylene and propylene polymerization shows that the nature of the metallocene in the heterogenized metallocene catalysts is an essential factor in the distribution of active sites by the activation energy of the thermal destruction of active Zr-C bonds.
