Definitions
- the invention relates to a family of novel catalyst compositions for the production of olefin polymers, such as polymers of ethylene, higher alpha-olefins, dienes, and mixtures thereof.
- Metallocenes are organometallic coordination complexes containing one or more ⁇ -bonded moieties (i.e., cyclopentadienyl groups) in association with a metal atom from Groups IILB to VTII or the Lanthanide series of the Periodic Table of Elements.
- Catalyst compositions containing metallocenes and single site-like catalysts are highly useful in the preparation of polyolefins, producing relatively homogeneous copolymers at excellent polymerization rates while allowing one to tailor closely the final properties of the polymer as desired.

- the catalyst precursor has the formula:
- the catalyst precursor may be prepared by any synthesis method, and the method of making the catalyst precursor is not critical to the invention.
- One useful method of making the catalyst precursor is by reacting a hydroxy aromatic nitrogen compound, which compounds are commercially available, with a metallic deprotonating agent such as an alkyllithium compound in an organic solvent to form the metal salt of the hydroxy aromatic nitrogen compound.
- the resulting salt may then be reacted with a salt of the desired transition metal, preferably a transition metal halide (i.e., zirconium tetrachloride for a zirconium -containing catalyst precursor) to form the bis(hydroxy aromatic nitrogen ligand) transition metal catalyst precursor.
- the catalyst precursor may be isolated by methods well known in the art.
- the activating cocatalyst is capable of activating the catalyst precursor.
- the activating cocatalyst is one of the following: (a) branched or cyclic oligomeric poly(hydrocarbylaluminum oxide)s which contain repeating units of the general formula -(Al(R*)O)-, where R* is hydrogen, an alkyl radical containing from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, or an aryl radical such as a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or naphthyl group; (b) ionic salts of the general formula [A + ][BR 4 ⁇ ], where A + is a cationic Lewis or Bronsted acid capable of abstracting an alkyl, halogen, or hydrogen from the metallocene catalysts, B is boron, and R is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon, preferably a perfluorophenyl radical; (c) boron alkyls of the general formula BR 3, where R is as defined

- Aluminoxanes may be prepared in a variety of ways. Generally, a mixture of linear and cyclic aluminoxanes is obtained in the preparation of aluminoxanes from, for example, trimethylaluminum and water.
- an aluminum alkyl may be treated with water in the form of a moist solvent.
- an aluminum alkyl, such as trimethylaluminum may be contacted with a hydrated salt, such as hydrated ferrous sulfate.
- the latter method comprises treating a dilute solution of trimethylaluminum in, for example, toluene with a suspension of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate.
- methylaluminoxanes by the reaction of a tetraalkyl- dialuminoxane containing C2 or higher alkyl groups with an amount of trimethylaluminum that is less than a stoichiometric excess.
- the synthesis of methylaluminoxanes may also be achieved by the reaction of a trialkyl aluminum compound or a tetraalkyldialuminoxane containing C2 or higher alkyl groups with water to form a polyalkyl aluminoxane, which is then reacted with trimethylaluminum.
- methylaluminoxanes which contain both methyl groups and higher alkyl groups, i.e., isobutyl groups, may be synthesized by the reaction of a polyalkyl aluminoxane containing C2 or higher alkyl groups with trimethylaluminum and then with water as disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,041,584.
- the mole ratio of aluminum atoms contained in the poly(hydrocarbylaluminum oxide) to total metal atoms contained in the catalyst precursor is generally in the range of from about 2:1 to about 100,000:1, preferably in the range of from about 10:1 to about 10,000:1, and most preferably in the range of from about 50:1 to about 2,000:1.
- the mole ratio of boron atoms contained in the ionic salt or the boron alkyl to total metal atoms contained in the catalyst precursor is generally in the range of from about 0.5:1 to about 10:1, preferably in the range of from about 1:1 to about 5:1.

- a catalyst composition that is spray dried as described in European Patent Application No. 0 668 295 Al or in liquid form as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,317,036.
- the catalyst composition may be impregnated in or deposited on the surface of an inert substrate such as silica, carbon black, polyethylene, polycarbonate porous crosslinked polystyrene, porous crosslinked polypropylene, alumina, thoria, zirconia, or magnesium halide (e.g., magnesium dichloride), such that the catalyst composition is between 0.1 and 90 percent by weight of the total weight of the catalyst composition and the support.
- an inert substrate such as silica, carbon black, polyethylene, polycarbonate porous crosslinked polystyrene, porous crosslinked polypropylene, alumina, thoria, zirconia, or magnesium halide (e.g., magnesium dichloride), such that the catalyst composition is between 0.1 and 90 percent by weight of the total weight of the catalyst composition and the support.
- the catalyst composition may be used for the polymerization of olefins by any suspension, solution, slurry, or gas phase process, using known equipment and reaction conditions, and is not limited to any specific type of reaction system.
- olefin polymerization temperatures range from about 0°C to about 200°C at atmospheric, sub atmospheric, or superatmospheric pressures.
- Slurry or solution polymerization processes may utilize subatmospheric or superatmospheric pressures and temperatures in the range of about 40°C to about 110°C.
- a useful liquid phase polymerization reaction system is described in U.S. Patent 3,324,095.
- Liquid phase reaction systems generally comprise a reactor vessel to which olefin monomer and catalyst composition are added, and which contains a liquid reaction medium for dissolving or suspending the polyolefin.
- the hquid reaction medium may consist of the bulk hquid monomer or an inert hquid hydrocarbon that is nonreactive under the polymerization conditions employed. Although such an inert hquid hydrocarbon need not function as a solvent for the catalyst composition or the polymer obtained by the process, it usually serves as solvent for the monomers employed in the polymerization.
- inert hquid hydrocarbons suitable for this purpose are isopentane, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, benzene, toluene, and the like.
- Reactive contact between the olefin monomer and the catalyst composition should be maintained by constant stirring or agitation.
- the reaction medium containing the olefin polymer product and unreacted olefin monomer is withdrawn from the reactor continuously.
- the olefin polymer product is separated, and the unreacted olefin monomer and hquid reaction medium are recycled into the reactor.
- gas phase polymerization is employed, with superatmospheric pressures in the range of 1 to 1000 psi, preferably 50 to 400 psi, most preferably 100 to 300 psi, and temperatures in the range of 30 to 130°C, preferably 65 to 110°C.
- Stirred or fluidized bed gas phase reaction systems are particularly useful.
- a conventional gas phase, fluidized bed process is conducted by passing a stream containing one or more olefin monomers continuously through a fluidized bed reactor under reaction conditions and in the presence of catalyst composition at a velocity sufficient to maintain a bed of solid particles in a suspended condition.
- a stream containing unreacted monomer is withdrawn from the reactor continuously, compressed, cooled, optionally fully or partially condensed as disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,528,790 and 5,462,999, and recycled to the reactor.
- Product is withdrawn from the reactor and make-up monomer is added to the recycle stream.
- any gas inert to the catalyst composition and reactants may also be present in the gas stream.
- a fluidization aid such as carbon black, silica, clay, or talc may be used, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,994,534.
- Polymerization may be carried out in a single reactor or in two or more reactors in series, and is conducted substantially in the absence of catalyst poisons.
- Organometallic compounds may be employed as scavenging agents for poisons to increase the catalyst activity.
- scavenging agents are metal alkyls, preferably aluminum alkyls, most preferably triisobutylaluminum.
- Hydrogen or a metal or non-metal hydride e.g., a silyl hydride
- Hydrogen may be used as a chain transfer agent in the process. Hydrogen may be used in amounts up to about 10 moles of hydrogen per mole of total monomer feed.
- Olefin polymers that may be produced according to the invention include, but are not hmited to, ethylene homopolymers, homopolymers of linear or branched higher alpha-olefins containing 3 to about 20 carbon atoms, and interpolymers of ethylene and such higher alpha- olefins, with densities ranging from about 0.86 to about 0.96.
- Suitable higher alpha-olefins include, for example, propylene, 1-butene, 1- pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-l-pentene, 1-octene, and 3,5,5-trimethyl- 1-hexene.
- Olefin polymers according to the invention may also be based on or contain conjugated or non-conjugated dienes, such as linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbon dienes having from about 4 to about 20, preferably 4 to 12, carbon atoms.
- Preferred dienes include 1,4-pentadiene, 1,5-hexadiene, 5-vinyl-2-norbornene, 1,7-octadiene, vinyl cyclohexene, dicyclopentadiene, butadiene, isobutylene, isoprene, ethylidene norbornene and the like.
- Aromatic compounds having vinyl unsaturation such as styrene and substituted styrenes, and polar vinyl monomers such as acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, acrylate esters, methacrylate esters, vinyl trialkyl silanes and the like may be polymerized according to the invention as well.
- Specific olefin polymers that may be made according to the invention include, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene/propylene rubbers (EPR's), ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers (EPDM's), polybutadiene, polyisoprene and the like.
- MMAO is a solution of modified methylaluminoxane in hexane, approximately 2.25 molar in aluminum, commercially available from Akzo Chemicals, Inc. (type M).
- Hexene incorporation levels in the ethylene copolymers were determined by carbon-13 NMR as follows. An 8% weight/volume concentration was prepared by dissolving an ethylene copolymer in ortho dichlorobenzene (ODCB) in an NMR tube. A closed capillary tube of deuterium oxide was inserted into the NMR tube as a field frequency lock. Data was collected on the Bruker AC 300 at 115°C using NOE enhanced conditions with a 30° PW and a 5 second repetition time. The number of carbon scans usually varied from 1,000 to 10,000 with the more highly branched samples requiring shorter acquisitions. The area of the peaks was measured along with the area of the total aliphatic region. The areas of carbons contributed by the comonomer were averaged and ratioed to the area of the backbone to give the mole fraction. This number was then converted into branch frequency.
- ODCB ortho dichlorobenzene
- EXAMPLE 7 POLYMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE Similar to Example 3, the catalyst composition prepared in Example 6 (1.5 ml., 3.0 ⁇ mole Zr) was injected into the reactor containing 1 1. hexanes and ethylene (200 psi). Polymerization was continued for 0.5 hr. at 65° and 275 r.p.m. stirrer speed, followed termination with 1 ml. isopropanol. Evaporation of the volatiles yielded 1.8 g. of polyethylene.
