Abstract
A reaction of 2,4-bis(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)phenol with TiCl2(ОPri)2 and Ti(ОPri)4 was used to obtain the coordination compounds (HL)2L2Ti2Cl2•MeC6H5 and L4Ti4(OPri)8, respectively. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The titanium(IV) coordination compounds obtained polymerize ethylene in the presence of binary cocatalysts {3Et2AlCl + Bu2Mg} or {3Et3Al2Cl3 + Bu2Mg} at moderate to high rates, giving rise to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a wide range of molecular masses. The highest values of tensile strength (2.4 GPa) and modulus of elasticity (ε = 2.67%) were obtained for the sample with a molecular mass of 3.14•106 Da under comparable conditions of orientation drawing of the film filaments. This sample was obtained when complex (HL)2L2Ti2Cl2 was activated by a 3: 1 mixture of Et2AlCl—Bu2Mg.
