Conclusions
-
1.
Complexes of VCl4, VOCl3,TiCl4, and AlCl3 with acrylonitrile (AN) were produced, their properties were studied, and it was shown that the coordination of AN with the central atom is accomplished through the unshared pair of electrons of the nitrogen atom.
-
2.
Acrylonitrile stabilizes catalytic systems based on VCl4 but sharply reduces their activity in the polymerization of ethylene.
-
3.
The introduction of AlCl3 into catalytic systems based on acrylonitrile complexes of VCl4 and diisobutyl aluminum chloride promotes an increase in their activity in the polymerization of ethylene. The indicated effect is evidently due to a recoordination of AN from VCl4 to AlCl3.
-
4.
Acrylonitrile is brought into polymerization and forms copolymers with ethylene.
