A series of novel α-diamine nickel complexes, (ArNH-C(Me)-(Me)C-NHAr)NiBr2, 1: Ar=2,6-diisopropylphenyl, 2: Ar=2,6-dimethylphenyl, 3: Ar=phenyl), have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that the coordination geometry of the α-diamine nickel complexes is markedly different from conventional α-diimine nickel complexes, and that the chelate ring (N-C-C-N-Ni) of the α-diamine nickel complex is significantly distorted. The α-diamine nickel catalysts also display different steric effects on ethylene polymerization in comparison to the α-diimine nickel catalyst. Increasing the steric hindrance of the α-diamine ligand by substitution of the o-methyl groups with o-isopropyl groups leads to decreased polymerization activity and molecular weight; however, catalyst thermal stability is significantly enhanced. Living polymerizations of ethylene can be successfully achieved using 1/Et2AlCl at 35 °C or 2/Et2AlCl at 0 °C. The bulky α-diamine nickel catalyst 1 with isopropyl substituents can additionally be used to control the branching topology of the obtained polyethylene at the same level of branching density by tuning the reaction temperature and ethylene pressure.

Paragraph 0053-0056, (2018/05/24)
The invention belongs to the field of alkene catalytic polymerization, and concretely discloses a diamine nickel complex, and a preparation method and application thereof. The complex possesses a structure shown as a formula I or II, R1 is hydrogen or alkyl, R2 is hydrogen, alkyl or phenyl, R3 is hydrogen, alkyl or phenyl, R4 is hydrogen, alkyl or phenyl, R5 is hydrogen, alkyl or phenyl, and X is a halogen. The diamine nickel complex is diverse in structure and easy to prepare. When the diamine nickel complex catalyzes ethane for active polymerization, the branching degree of the obtained polymer can be changed between medium branching degree and high branching degree by adjusting the ligand structure and changing the polymerization conditions. By using the catalyst with one specific structure, the polymer with high branching degree can be obtained at different temperatures, and the branching degree is not obviously changed along with temperature.

Iron complexes are commonly used in catalysis, but the identity of the active catalyst is often unknown, which prevents a detailed understanding of structure-reactivity relationships for catalyst design. Here we report the isolation and electronic structure determination of a well-defined, low-valent iron complex that is an active catalyst in the synthesis of cis,cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) from 1,3-butadiene. Spectroscopic and magnetic characterization establishes a high-spin Fe(I) center, which is supported by DFT studies, where partial metal-ligand antibonding orbital population is proposed to allow for facile ligand exchange during catalysis.
