摘要

A series of novel asymmetric binuclear titanocenes linked with alkyl benzyl ethers p-[(C₅H₅TiCl₂)C₅H₄CH₂]C₆H₄O(CH₂)_n[C₅H₄(TiCl₂C₅H₅)] (n = 2–5) (13–16) have been synthesized by treating p-(LiC₅H₄CH₂)C₆H₄O(CH₂)_n(C₅H₄Li) (n = 2–5) (9–12) with C₅H₅TiCl₃. The new complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectra. Their catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization was investigated in the presence of aluminoxane (MAO). The results show that 13–16 are efficient catalysts for producing polyethylene (PE) with a broad molecular weight distribution (MWD). Their catalytic activity is highly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain and the polymerization conditions. A longer alkyl chain increases the catalytic activity, whereas the molecular weight of the produced polyethylene decreases.
