Abstract
A series of trichlorotitanium complexes containing 2-(1-(arylimino)propyl)quinolin-8-olates was synthesized by stoichiometric reaction of titanium tetrachloride with the corre- sponding potassium 2-(1-(arylimino)propyl)quinolin-8-olates and was fully characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of representative complexes. All titanium complexes, when activated with methylaluminoxane, exhibited high catalytic activity toward ethylene polymerization (up to 1.15 � 10 6 g mol � 1 (Ti) h � 1 ) and ethylene/a-olefin copolymeriza- tion (up to 1.54 � 10 6 g mol � 1 (Ti) h � 1 ). The incorporation of comonomer was confirmed to amount up to 2.82 mol % of 1-hexene or 1.94 mol % of 1-octene, respectively. V C 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
