Abstract
AbstractSelf‐immobilized nickel and iron diimine catalysts bearing one or two allyl groups of [ArNC]2(C10H6)NiBr2 [Ar = 4‐allyl‐2,6‐(i‐Pr)2C6H2] (1), [ArNC(Me)][Ar′N C(Me)]C5H3NFeCl2 [Ar = Ar′ = 4‐allyl‐2,6‐(i‐Pr)2C6H3, Ar = 2,6‐(i‐Pr)2C6H3, and Ar′ = 4‐allyl‐2,6‐(i‐Pr)2C6H3] were synthesized and characterized. All three catalysts were investigated for olefin polymerization. As a result, these catalysts not only showed high activities as the catalyst free from the allyl group, such as [ArNC]2C10H6NiBr2 (Ar = 2,6‐(i‐Pr)2C6H2)], but also greatly improved the morphology of polymer particles to afford micron‐granula polyolefin. The self‐immobilization of catalysts, the formation mechanism of microspherical polymer, and the influence on the size of the particles are discussed. The molecular structure of self‐immobilized nickel catalyst 1 was also characterized by crystallographic analysis. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 1018–1024, 2004
