2 Ziegler-Natta Polymerisation Nobel Prize Chemistry 1963 Ziegler-Natta catalysts 1953 Ziegler-Natta catalyst Karl Ziegler (Max Planck Institute for Coal esearch) Giulio Natta (Polytechnic Institute of Milan) 1963 Nobel Prize => Production of low density poly(ethylene) (LDPE) i.e. branched polyethylene.

3 Ziegler-Natta catalysts Karl Ziegler discovered that high-density poly(ethylene), DPE, could be produced using organometallic catalysts. Such catalysts form co-ordination complexes. The catalyst is based on a mixture of: (early) transition metal salt + aluminium alkyl Ziegler-Natta Catalysts Giulio Natta discovered that 1-alkenes could be polymerised to produce stereoregular polymers, with catalysts of the type described by Ziegler. The Ziegler-Natta catalyst is not consumed during the reaction. Many different types of Ziegler-Natta catalysts have been developed. They can be either: heterogeneous, or homogeneous. Ziegler-Natta catalysts: (early) transition metal salt + aluminium alkyl Ethene Ti 3 AlEt 3 Propene Ti 3 Al 2 1-Butene Ti 3 AlEt 2 Ethene VO 3 Al 2 + propene + non-conjugated diene

4 Advantages of OM-catalytically produced polymers No branching: e.g. DPE (high density polyethylene) greater strength/heat resistance than LDPE (plastic squeeze bottles, moulded housewares) Stereoselective: e.g. PP Tacticity describes the relative stereoisomerism of macromolecules. e.g. Polypropylene: atactic: methyl groups randomly oriented No order (atactic): No packing isotactic: all methyl groups oriented towards one side syndiotactic: methyl groups oriented in an alternating way egular arrangement (Isotactic, syndiotactic): Easy to pack into crystals and fibers. Limitations Poly(vinyl chloride) Free radical polymerisation! Acrylates Anionic polymerisation!

5 Metallocene Polymerisation Metallocenes An important class of Ziegler-Natta catalysts are the metallocenes. They consist of a transition metal sandwiched between two cyclopentadiene rings. A co-catalyst is also employed. This is often derived from the reaction of aluminium alkyl with water. Make polyethylene up to 6Million g/mol (DP ~200,000)! Tune tacticities (block copolymers) Fe What is a Metallocene? Aromatic ring Fe 2+ Fe Fe Ferrocene Zr Zr bis-chlorozirconocene

6 bis(2-phenylindenyl)zirconium dichloride Zr + Zr + ac form meso form Elastomeric polypropylene Isotactic blocks form crystals tied together by soft rubbery tethers of atactic polypropylene => more strength (No crosslinked necessary) thermoplastic elastomer Ziegler-Natta vs. Metallocenes Ziegler-Natta Catalysts: Several metal sites causes less control of polymer branching Metallocenes: Single metal site allows for more control of branching and molecular weight distribution Versatility of metallocenes with countless variations (ie. bridging atoms, overcrowding)

7 Metathesis Polymerisation Nobel Prize Chemistry 2005 Metathesis C C + C C C C + C C Metathesis 1950s by industrial chemists: 1956, erbert S Eleuterio, (DuPont): Propylene-ethylene copolymer from a propylene feed passed over a molybdenum-onaluminum catalyst. Analysis showed that the output gas was a mixture of propylene, ethylene, and 1-butene. Cyclopentene: "the polymer I got looked like somebody took a pair of scissors, opened up cyclopentene, and neatly sewed it up again n

8 1971: Chauvin et al. (French Petroleum Institute) suggested that olefin metathesis is initiated by a metal carbene. The metal carbene reacts with an olefin to form a metallacyclobutane intermediate that breaks apart to form a new olefin and a new metal carbene, which propagates the reaction Makromol. Chem., 141, 161 (1971) (because of a typographical error in the journal's running head, this paper is sometimes erroneously cited with a 1970 publication date!!!) L M L M M n n L n ' ' ' ' ' ' n n Poly(dicyclopentadiene) Properties: (PDCP) - Thermoset - Very good impact resistance at low temperatures Process: reaction injection molding or IM Applications: - Snowmobiles cowlings - Satellite dish antenna - Storage tank for chemicals Catalysts Schrock W, Mo and e Catalysts (80 s-90 s) Arylimido complexes of Mo: Prof ichard Schrock Massachusetts Institute of Technology igh tolerance for functionality 100% active fully characterized by NM and X-ray crystallography. air and water-sensitive Coordinative and electronic unsaturation (making them electrophilic) Bulky ligands (prevents bimolecular decomposition).
