Abstract

Sterically modulated, diazine bridged bis-α-diimine Ni(II) complexes have been synthesized to provide a versatile set of catalytic systems for ethylene oligomerization in combination with methyl aluminoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst. All the dinickel catalysts efficiently oligomerize ethylene to produce C4–C20 fractions at activities of up to 1,123 kg-oligomer mol-Ni−1 bar−1 h−1 at 30 °C with Al(MAO)/Ni ratio at 300. The change in potential of metal center induced by substituents, as evidenced by cyclic voltammetric measurements, influences the oligomerization activity. Complexes C1 and C3 produces traces of polyethylene at 30 °C, while at higher temperature all the complexes yielded oligomers only.

Graphical Abstract

A series of sterically modulated binuclear nickel(II) complexes of three novel bis-α-diimine ligands have been synthesized. The square planar dinickel(II) center complexes efficiently oligomerize ethylene to C4–C20 fractions showing high selectivity towards 1-butene as nearly as 75 % of the total C4 content
