TY  - JOUR
AB - Bis(imino)pyridine ligands, L [where L = 2,6-(ArNCR1)2C5H3N R1 = Et, iPr, CH2CH2Ph or CH(CH2Ph)2 and Ar = 2,4,6-(Me)3C6H2 (MES) or 2,6-(iPr)2C6H3 (DIPP)] have been prepd. by deprotonation of the parent ketimine ligand (R1 = Me) using lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), followed by alkylation with the appropriate alkylhalide. The corresponding iron dichloride complexes LFeCl2 are highly active ethylene polymn. catalysts upon treatment with methylaluminoxane (MAO), with activities in the range of 3000-18,000 g/mmol bar h. The mol. wts. (Mn) of the resultant polyethylenes lie in the range of 6500-24,000 with broad mol. wt. distributions (16.5-38.0). The nature of the imine carbon substituent has a marked effect on the polymer mol. wt. whereas the catalyst activity is largely unaffected by changes to this substituent. [on SciFinder(R)]
