Abstract

A series of salicylaldimine ligands 2-tert-butyl-6-((2,4-bis(diphenylmethyl)-8-arylnaphthalen)imine)-phenol (L1: Aryl =4-tBu-phenyl; L2: Aryl = p-tolyl; L3: Aryl = phenyl; L4: 4-CF3-phenyl) and the corresponding neutral salicylaldimine nickel complexes (Ni1-Ni4) were prepared and characterized. In ethylene polymerization at 20 °C, these nickel complexes are highly active, with activities of up to 6.88 × 105 g·mol−1·h−1. Moreover, the molecular weight of the polyethylene could reach up to 8.1 × 105. Comparing with the classic salicylaldimine nickel complexes Ni5 at 20 °C, complexes Ni1 with the 4-tBu-phenyl substituent demonstrated 8 times higher activity and 35 times higher polyethylene molecular weight.
