Catalyst compositions and methods of making and using same

摘要

An imine phenol compound having Structure I:;
wherein O and N represent oxygen and nitrogen respectively; R comprises a halogen, a hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted hydrocarbyl group; R2 and R3 can each independently be hydrogen, a halogen, a hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted hydrocarbyl group; and Q is a donor group. A method comprising contacting a catalyst composition with a monomer under conditions suitable for the formation of a polymer wherein the catalyst composition comprises a metal salt complex of an imine (bis)phenolate compound, a solid oxide, and an optional metal alkyl and wherein the metal salt complex of an imine (bis)phenolate compound has Structure XIV
;
where M is titanium, zirconium, or hafnium; OEt2 is ethoxide, R comprises a halogen, a hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted hydrocarbyl group; and R2 comprises hydrogen, a halogen, a hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted hydrocarbyl group.
