- transition metal complex Various components (groups) of the transition metal complex are discussed below in more detail.
- the transition metal in the complex is selected from groups 4-6 of the Periodic Table of Elements. As referred to herein, all references to the Periodic Table of Elements mean the version set forth in the new IUPAC notation found on the inside of the cover of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 70th edition, 1989/1990, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. More preferably, the transition metal is selected from group 4 of the Periodic Table of Elements, and most preferably is titanium (Ti).
- the transition metal is present in reduced form in the complex, which means that the transition metal is in a reduced oxidation state.
- reduced oxidation state means an oxidation state which is greater than zero but lower than the highest possible oxidation state of the metal (for example, the reduced oxidation state is at most M 3+ for a transition metal of group 4, at most M 4+ for a transition metal of group 5 and at most M 5+ for a transition metal of group 6).
- the X ligand is a multidentate monoanionic ligand represented by the formula: (Ar-R t -),Y(-R t -DR' n ) q .
- a multidentate monoanionic ligand is bonded with a covalent bond to the reduced transition metal (M) at one site (the anionic site, Y) and is bonded either (i) with a coordinate bond to the transition metal at one other site (bidentate) or (ii) with a plurality of coordinate bonds at several other sites (tridentate, tetradentate, etc.). Such coordinate bonding can take place, for example, via the D heteroatom or Ar group(s).
- tridentate monoanionic ligands include, without limitation, Y-R t -DR' n _ 1 -R t -DR'êt and Y(-R-DR' n ) 2 .
- R represents a connecting or bridging group between the DR' n and Y, and/or between the electron- donating aryl (Ar) group and Y. Since R is optional, "t" can be zero.
- the R group is discussed below in paragraph (d) in more detail.
- the Y group of the multidentate monoanionic ligand (X) is preferably a cyclopentadienyl, amido (-NR'-), or phosphido (-PR'-) group.
- the Y group is a cyclopentadienyl ligand (Cp group).
- Cp group cyclopentadienyl ligand
- the term cyclopentadienyl group encompasses substituted cyclopentadienyl groups such as indenyl, fluorenyl, and benzoindenyl groups, and other polycyclic aromatics containing at least one 5-member dienyl ring, so long as at least one of the substituents of the Cp group is an R t -DR' n group or
- R t -Ar group that replaces one of the hydrogens bonded to the five-member ring of the Cp group via an exocyclic substitution.
- multidentate monoanionic ligand with a Cp group as the Y group include the following (with the (-R t -DR' n ) or (Ar-R t -) substituent on the ring)
- the Y group can also be a hetero cyclopentadienyl group.
- a hetero cyclopentadienyl group means a hetero ligand derived from a cyclopentadienyl group, but in which at least one of the atoms defining the five-member ring structure of the cyclopentadienyl is replaced with a hetero atom via an endocyclic substitution.
- the hetero Cp group also includes at least one R t -DR' n group or R t -Ar group that replaces one of the hydrogens bonded to the five-member ring of the Cp group via an exocyclic substitution.
- the hetero Cp group encompasses indenyl, fluorenyl, and benzoindenyl groups, and other polycyclic aromatics containing at least one 5-member dienyl ring, so long as at least one of the substituents of the hetero Cp group is an R t -DR' n group or R t -Ar group that replaces one of the hydrogens bonded to the five-member ring of the hetero Cp group via an exocyclic substitution.
- the hetero atom can be selected from group 14, 15 or 16 of the Periodic Table of Elements. If there is more than one hetero atom present in the five- member ring, these hetero atoms can be either the same or different from each other. More preferably, the hetero atom(s) is/are selected from group 15, and still more preferably the hetero atom(s) selected is/are phosphorus.
- hetero ligands of the X group that can be practiced in accordance with the present invention are hetero cyclopentadienyl groups having the following structures, in which the hetero cyclopentadienyl contains one phosphorus atom (i.e., the hetero atom) substituted in the five-member ring:
- the transition metal group M is bonded to the Cp group via an h, 5 bond.
- the other R' exocyclic substituents (shown in formula (III)) on the ring of the hetero Cp group can be of the same type as those present on the Cp group, as represented in formula (II).
- at least one of the exocyclic substituents on the five- member ring of the hetero cyclopentadienyl group of formula (III) is the R t -DR' n group or the R t -Ar group.
- the numeration of the substitution sites of the indenyl group is in general and in the present description based on the IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry 1979, rule A 21.1. The numeration of the substituent sites for indene is shown below. This numeration is analogous for an indenyl group:
- the Y group can also be an amido (-NR'-) group or a phosphido (-PR'-) group.
- the Y group contains nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) and is bonded covalently to the transition metal M as well as to the (optional) R group of the (-R t -DR' n ) or (Ar-R t -) substituent.
- the R group is optional, such that it can be absent from the X group. Where the R group is absent, the DR' n or Ar group is bonded directly to the Y group (that is, the DR' n or Ar group is bonded directly to the Cp, amido, or phosphido group). The presence or absence of an R group between each of the DR' n groups and/or Ar groups is independent.
- each of the R group constitutes the connecting bond between, on the one hand the Y group, and on the other hand the DR' n group or the Ar group.
- the presence and size of the R group determines the accessibility of the transition metal M relative to the DR' n or Ar group, which gives the desired intramolecular coordination. If the R group (or bridge) is too short or absent, the donor may not coordinate well due to ring tension.
- the R groups are each selected independently, and can generally be, for example, a hydrocarbon group with 1-20 carbon atoms (e.g., alkylidene, arylidene, aryl alkylidene, etc.). Specific examples of such R groups include, without limitation, methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, phenylene, whether or not with a substituted side chain.
- the R group has the following structure:
- R' groups of formula (IV) can each be selected independently, and can be the same as the R' groups defined below in paragraph (g).
- the main chain of the R group can also contain silicon or germanium.
- R groups are: dialkyl silylene (-SiR' 2 -), dialkyl germylene (-GeR' 2 -), tetra-alkyl silylene (-SiR' 2 -SiR' 2 -) , or tetraalkyl silaethylene (-SiR' 2 CR' 2 - ).
- the alkyl groups in such a group preferably have 1-4 carbon atoms and more preferably are a methyl or ethyl group.
- This donor group consists of an electron- donating hetero atom D, selected from group 15 or 16 of the Periodic Table of Elements, and one or more substituents R' bonded to D.
- the number (n) of R' groups is determined by the nature of the hetero atom D, insofar as n being 2 if D is selected from group 15 and n being 1 if D is selected from group 16.
- the R' substituents bonded to D can each be selected independently, and can be the same as the R' groups defined below in paragraph (g) , with the exception that the R' substituent bonded to D cannot be hydrogen.
- the hetero atom D is preferably selected from the group consisting of nitrogen (N) , oxygen (0), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S); more preferably, the hetero atom is nitrogen (N).
- the R' group is an alkyl, more preferably an n-alkyl group having 1- 20 carbon atoms, and most preferably an n-alkyl having 1-8 carbon atoms. It is further possible for two R' groups in the DR' n group to be connected with each other to form a ring-shaped structure (so that the DR' n group can be, for example, a pyrrolidinyl group). The DR' n group can form coordinate bonds with the transition metal M. ( f ) The Ar Group
- the electron-donating group (or donor) selected can also be an aryl group (C 6 R' 5 ), such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, mesityl, cumenyl, tetramethyl phenyl, pentamethyl phenyl, a polycyclic group such as triphenylmethane, etc.
- the electron-donating group D of formula (I) cannot, however, be a substituted Cp group, such as an indenyl, benzoindenyl, or fluorenyl group.
- the coordination of this Ar group in relation to the transition metal M can vary from ⁇ 1 to ⁇ 6 .
- the R' groups may each separately be hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical with 1-20 carbon atoms (e.g. alkyl, aryl, aryl alkyl and the like as shown in Table
- alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl and decyl.
- aryl groups are phenyl, mesityl, tolyl and cumenyl.
- aryl alkyl groups are benzyl, pentamethylbenzyl, xylyl, styryl and trityl.
- R' groups are halides, such as chloride, bromide, fluoride and iodide, methoxy, ethoxy and phenoxy.
- Y group can be an indenyl, a fluorenyl or a benzoindenyl group.
- the indenyl, fluorenyl, and/or benzoindenyl can contain one or more R' groups as substituents.
- R' can also be a substituent which instead of or in addition to carbon and/or hydrogen can comprise one or more hetero atoms of groups 14-16 of the Periodic Table of Elements.
- a substituent can be, for example, a Si-containing group, such as Si(CH 3 ) 3 .

- the two L groups can also be connected with each other to form a dianionic bidentate ring system.
- L is a halide and/or an alkyl or aryl group; more preferably, L is a Cl group and/or a C x -C 4 alkyl or a benzyl group.
- the L group cannot be a Cp, amido, or phosphido group. In other words, L cannot be one of the Y groups.
- the K ligand is a neutral or anionic group bonded to the transition metal M.
- the K group is a neutral or anionic ligand bonded to M.
- neutral K ligands which by definition are not anionic, are not subject to the same rule. Therefore, for each neutral K ligand, the value of m (i.e., the number of total K ligands) is one higher than the value stated above for a complex having all monoanionic K ligands.
- the K ligand can be a ligand as described above for the L group or a Cp group (-C 5 R' S ), an amido group (-NR' 2 ) or a phosphido group (-PR' 2 ).
- the K group can also be a neutral ligand such as an ether, an amine, a phosphine, a thioether, among others.
- the two K groups can be connected with each other via an R group to form a bidentate ring system.
- the X group of the complex contains a Y group to which are linked one or more donor groups (the Ar group(s) and/or DR' n group(s)) via, optionally, an R group.
- the number of donor groups linked to the Y group is at least one and at most the number of substitution sites present on a Y group.

- This means that the Cp a (ZY) b group is of a dianionic nature, and has the anionic charges residing formerly on the Cp and Y groups. Accordingly, the Cp a (ZY) b group of formula (VI) contains two covalent bonds: the first being between the 5-member ring of the Cp group and the transition metal M, and the second being between the Y group and the transition metal.
- the X group in the complex according to the present invention is of a monoanionic nature, such that a covalent bond is present between the Y group (e.g., the Cp group) and transition metal, and a coordinate bond can be present between the transition metal M and one or more of the (Ar-R t -) and (-R t -DR' n ) groups.
- a coordinate bond is a bond (e.g., H 3 N-BH 3 ) which when broken, yields either (i) two species without net charge and without unpaired electrons (e.g., H 3 N: and BH 3 ) or (ii) two species with net charge and with unpaired electrons (e.g., H 3 N- + and BH 3 - ⁇ ).
- a covalent bond is a bond (e.g., CH 3 -CH 3 ) which when broken yields either (i) two species without net charge and with unpaired electrons (e.g., CH 3 - and CH 3 - ) or (ii) two species with net charges and without unpaired electrons (e.g., CH 3 + and CH 3 : " ).

If a compound containing or yielding a non-coordinating or poorly coordinating anion is selected as co-catalyst, the molar ratio usually is in a range of from about 1:100 to about 1,000:1, and preferably is in a range of from about 1:2 to about 250:1.
- the transition metal complex as well as the co- catalyst can be present in the catalyst composition as a single component or as a mixture of several components. For instance, a mixture may be desired where there is a need to influence the molecular properties of the polymer, such as molecular weight and in particular molecular weight distribution.
- the polymerization of at least one ⁇ -olefin is carried out using a catalyst composition as described above.
- the ⁇ -olefin(s) is/are suitably chosen from ⁇ -olefins having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably ⁇ -olefins having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and most preferably ⁇ -olefins having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, ⁇ -olefins with 8 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule are readily available from processes for the oligomerisation of ethylene according to the so called 'conombau"-principle. It may be feasible to select the ethylene-oligomerisation conditions such that mainly products within the desired range of 8 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule are formed.
- olefins having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms per molecule.
- separation techniques such as fractional distillation, olefins within the desired range of 8 to 20 and preferably within the range of 8 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule can easily be recovered.
- a convenient process for the catalytic oligomerisation of ethylene is described in U.S. Patent No. 3,646,915, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- alpha- olefins containing 8 to 20, and preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule are polymerized to products, typically having a number-average molecular weight in the range of 400 to 3,000, preferably in the range of 400 to 1,000 and most preferably in the range of 400 to 700.
- Products having higher molecular weights e.g. number-average molecular weights of 3,000 or more, generally are less suitable as base materials for lubricants and hence the oligomerisation conditions are preferably selected such that the molecules of the obtained product are predominantly derived from 2 to 8 monomeric units.
- dimers are suitable which are, preferably, derived from monomers having carbon numbers in the higher region of the above mentioned carbon range.
- products having a number-average molecular weight above 3000 g/mol can successivefully be applied.
- further ⁇ -olefin(s) may be used together with the C 4 -C 30 ⁇ -olefins mentioned above, in particular one or more selected from among ethylene, propylene and styrene (substituted or non-substituted), mixtures of which may also be used. More preferably, the ⁇ -olefin is ethylene, propylene or a mixture thereof. Mixtures of the above mentioned monomers can also be used. According to this embodiment of the process of the invention, up to 60 mol% of the further ⁇ -olefin monomer(s) may be incorporated into the polymer and preferably up to 51 mol% (i.e. up to a slight excess of further ⁇ -olefinic monomer(s) with respect to the ⁇ - olefin monomer having 4 to 30 carbon atoms).
- the catalyst composition can be used supported as well as non-supported.
- the transition metal complex or the co- catalyst can be supported on a carrier. It is also possible that both the transition metal complex and the co-catalyst are supported on a carrier.
- the carrier material for the transition metal complex and for the co-catalyst can be the same material or a different material. It is also possible to support the transition metal complex and the co-catalyst on the same carrier.
- the supported catalyst systems of the invention can be prepared as setarate compounds, which can be used as such in polymerization reactions or the supported catalyst systems can be formed by in situ methods just before a polymerization reaction starts.
- the supported catalysts are used mainly in gas phase and slurry processes.
- the carrier used may be any carrier known as carrier material for catalysts, for instance finely divided solid porous support, including, but not limited to MgCl 2 , Zeolites, mineral clays, inorganic oxides such as talc, silica (Si0 2 ), alumina (A1 2 0 3 ), silica-alumina, inorganic hydroxides, phosphates, sulphates, and the like, or resinous support materials such as polyolefins, including polystyrene, or mixtures thereof.
- the type or brand of carrier which is selectable is dependant on the structure of the metallocene.
- These carriers may be used as such or modified, for example by silanes and/or aluminium alkyles and/or aluminoxane compounds, etc.
- Polymerization of the olefins can be effected in the gas phase, in the solid phase as well as in a liquid reaction medium. In the latter case, both solution and suspension polymerization are suitable. Also a very suitable polymerization method according to the present invention is polymerizing in bulk monomer (bulk polymerization) or mixture of monomers.
- the quantity of transition metal to be used in case of solution or suspension or bulk polymerization generally is such that its concentration in the dispersion agent amounts to IO "8 - IO "3 mol/1 , preferably IO "7 - IO "4 mol/1.
- the preparation of polymers containing ⁇ - olefins by means of the catalyst compositions of the present invention is especially appropriate in solution, suspension (slurry) and bulk polymerization.
- a solvent or a combination of solvents may be employed if desired.
- Suitable solvents include toluene, ethylbenzene, one or more saturated, straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as butanes, pentanes, hexanes, heptanes, pentamethyl heptane or mineral oil fractions such as light or regular petrol, naphtha, kerosine or gas oil.
- a suspension utilizing a perfluorinated hydrocarbon or similar liquid may in particular be used.
- excess olefinic monomer may be used as the reaction medium (so-called bulk polymerization processes) .
- Aromatic hydrocarbons for instance benzene and toluene, as well as perfluorinated hydrocarbons can also be used, but because of their cost as well as on account of safety considerations, it will be preferred not to use such solvents for production on a commercial scale. In polymerization processes on a commercial scale it is preferred, therefore, to use low-priced solvent, such as aliphatic hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof, as marketed by the petrochemical industry. If an aliphatic hydrocarbon is used as solvent, the solvent may yet contain minor quantities of aromatic hydrocarbon, for instance toluene.
- methyl aluminoxane (MAO)
- toluene can be used as solvent for the MAO in order to supply the MAO in dissolved form to the polymerization reactor. Drying or purification is desirable if such solvents are used; this can be done without problems by the average person skilled in the art.
- Gas-phase and slurry/suspension polymerizations are preferably carried out at temperatures well below the melting temperature of the polymer produced, typically below 115°C.
- a solution or bulk polymerization is usually carried out at temperatures above the melting temperature of the polymers produced, typically above -100°C, preferably above 0°C, more preferably above 25°C and most preferably above 80°C.
- the polymer solution or suspension resulting from the polymerization can be worked up by a method known per se.
- the catalyst is de-activated at some point during the processing of the polymer.
- the de-activation is also effected in a manner known per se, e.g. by means of water or an alcohol. Removal of the catalyst residues can mostly be omitted because the quantity of catalyst in the polymer, in particular the content of halogen and transition metal is very low in the system according to the invention.
- Polymerization can be effected at atmospheric pressure, at sub-atmospheric pressure, or at elevated pressure of up to 500 MPa, continuously or discontinuously.
- the polymerization is performed at pressures between 1 kPa and 35 MPa. Higher pressures can be applied if the polymerization is carried out in so-called high-pressure reactors. In such a high-pressure process, the process according to the present invention can also be used with good results.
- the polymerization can also be performed in several steps, in series as well as in parallel. If required, the catalyst composition, temperature, hydrogen concentration, pressure, residence time, etc. may be varied from step to step. In this way it is also possible to obtain products with a wide molecular weight distribution.
- the invention also relates to the poly( ⁇ - olefin)s which can be obtained by means of the L97/
- TiCl 3 the esters used and the lithium reagents, 2-bromo-2-butene and 1-chlorocyclohexene were obtained from Aldrich Chemical Company.
- TiCl 3 .3THF was obtained by heating TiCl 3 for 24 hours in THF with reflux. (THF stands for tetrahydrofurane) .
- Example I This example concerns polymerization of octene using (dibutylaminoethyl)- tetramethylcyclopentadienyltitanium(III) dichloride (C 5 Me 4 (CH 2 ) 2 NBu 2 TiCl 2 ) as a catalyst.
- 2-Lithium-2-butene was prepared from 2-bromo- 2-butene (16.5 g; 0.122 mol) and lithium (2.8 g; 0.4 mol) as in Example I.
- the ester of a) (7.0 g? 0.031 mol) was added with reflux in approx. 5 minutes, followed by stirring for about 30 minutes.
- water 200 ml was carefully added dropwise.
- the water layer was separated off and extracted twice with 50 ml of CH 2 C1 2 .
- the combined organic layer was washed once with 50 ml of water, dried with K 2 C0 3 , filtered and evaporated. The yield was 9.0 g (100%).
- the polymer was dried in a rotating evaporator (at 80°C and 10 mbar pressure).
- the polymer was found to have a number average molecular weight Mn of 896 and was found, with X H-NMR, to be mainly terminally unsaturated.
- This example relates to the preparation of an octene / 1-octadecene copolymer using Et (Cp( iPr ) 3 )NMe 2 TiCl 2 as a catalyst.
- Solid TiCl 3 3THF (18.53g, 50.0 mmol) was added to a solution of the potassium salt of iPr 3 -Cp in 160 ml of THF at-60°C at once, after which the solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. The color changed from blue to green. After all the TiCl 3 .3THF had disappeared the reaction mixture was cooled again to - 60°C. After warming to room temperature again, the solution was stirred for an additional 30 minutes after which the THF was removed at reduced pressure.
- the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 minute.
- the polymerization reaction was started by introduction of the mixture from the catalyst metering vessel into the reactor. After one hour of polymerization, 25.2 grams of product were removed from the reactor.
- This example concerns polymerization of 1- octene in the presence of ethylene using EtCp*NMe 2 TiCl 2 as catalyst.
- the polymerization was started by the addition of this mixture from the catalyst premixing vessel into the reactor. After 30 minutes, the polymerization reaction was stopped, the polymer was drained from the reactor and was dried. The polymer yield was 19.9 grams.
- the polymer was analysed by SEC-DV using universal calibration. The Mw of the polymer was 270 kg/mol. The octene content in the polymer was 70 wt.%. This example shows that the polymerization of higher olefins is also possible in the presence of a lower olefin, such as ethylene, under effective polymerization conditions using the catalyst system of this invention.
- a polymerization was performed under the conditions described in Example I e) but with the addition of 0.011 mol triethylaluminium and 2.5xl0" 5 mol of the transition metal complex dimethyl-bis- (pentamethyl-cyclopentadienyl)zirconium.
- the polymer formed was found to have a Mn of 224 g/mol. GC-MS measurements on the product showed that a large portion of the polymer formed, contained saturated chain ends which is uneconomical for functionalisation reactions.
