Abstract
ABSTRACTThree isomeric 5‐norbornene‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (NDDE) withendo‐,exo‐, andtrans‐configuration have been synthesized and employed as internal electron donors (IED) in 1‐butene polymerization over magnesium chloride supported Ziegler–Natta catalysts. It was found that the configuration of NDDE plays a key role in tuning the catalyst activity, stereospecificity, molecular weight (MW), and polydispersity index (PDI) of resulting poly(1‐butene). The type of catalyst withcis‐5‐norbornene‐endo‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester as IED shows the highest catalyst activity, while catalyst withtrans‐NDDE as IED yields the poly(1‐butene) with the highest MW and the most broad PDI. IR results showed that the NDDE withendo‐,exo‐, andtrans‐configuration have different coordination way to MgCl2, subsequently affecting the catalysts performance. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
