摘要
The cationic polymerization of isobutylene using AlCl(3)xOBu(2) and AlCl(3)xO(i)Pr(2) as co-initiators in two non-polar solvents (toluene and n-hexane) at different temperatures and monomer concentrations has been investigated. In toluene, highly reactive polyisobutylene (HR PIB) with desired low molecular weight (M-n=1,500-2,500gmol(-1)) and high exo-olefin content (85-90%) were synthesized at high monomer concentration ([M]=5.2-7.8M) and high reaction temperature (0 degrees C-20 degrees C) with both of catalytic complexes. In n-hexane, AlCl(3)xO(i)Pr(2) showed considerably higher activity and selectivity towards beta-H abstraction that AlCl(3)xOBu(2) and allowed to synthesize HR PIB with high functionality (exo >= 80%) only at -20 degrees C, but the molecular weight of synthesized PIB is slightly higher (M-n=3,500-10,000gmol(-1)) than required for the commercial application.
