摘要
Hydrogenolysis of a series of model Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalysts to form Ti-H bond was studied within DFT. We focused our efforts on Ti species attached to the (110) lateral cut of MgCl2 which exist as different centres including Ti-C2H5, Ti-CH2CH(CH3)(2), and Ti-CH(CH3)CH2CH3 in ethylene and propylene polymerization. In the next step, reactivity of Ti H bond towards ethylene and propylene (1,2- and 2,1-) insertion was investigated. Results showed that insertion of ethylene and propylene into Ti H bond has less barrier, in comparison with their insertion in Ti-C bond, however, ethylene and propylene 2,1-insertion lead to Ti-C2H5 and Ti-CH(CH3)(2) centres respectively, which were stable due to strong 1 beta-agostic interactions. Finally, by considering different possible reactions of active centre, activity depression in ethylene polymerization and activity increase in propylene polymerization were explained in detail.
