Abstract

A novel late transitional metal catalyst-(2-Me-3-ClPh) 2PBIMe2FeCl2 - has been synthesized having a high oligomerization activity up to 1.0 X 107g oligomer/(mol Fe·h). Using this oligomerization catalyst and metallocene catalyst - rac-C2H 4 (Ind)2ZrCl2 - as a dual functional catalyst system, MAO as the only cocatalyst, Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) has been prepared by in situ copolymerization of ethylene having a high activity [> 106 g PE/(mol cat·h)]. 13 C-NMR shows that the LLDPE is obtained. In addition, the presence of unreacted α-olefin was not detected since there is no evident resonance signal at 29.29 and 29.42, which proves that this dual functional catalyst system has a good match during in situ copolymerization. With increasing the Fe/Zr ratio, the densities of polymers and the melting points of polymers obtained from DSC are in a descending trend. Meanwhile, the similar phenomenon is also found when the reaction temperature decreases.
