A new type of cross-linked methylaluminoxane (MAO)-supported cocatalyst has been prepared by the reaction of a soluble MAO and a cross-liking agent such as an aromatic diamine compound. The cross-linked MAO-supported cocatalyst was used for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$. The catalyst activity of (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$ cocatalyzed with the new supported cocatalyst was higher than that of the commercial silica-supported MAO (SMAO) cocatalyst. The molecular weight and the bulk density of the polyethylene produced by using the new supported cocatalyst were slightly higher than those of polyethylene synthesized using commercial SMAO. The resulting polyethylene particles possess spherical morphologies with very few fine particles.

Metallocenes, whether using a cocatalyst or not, act as catalysts in ethylene polymerization. The positive charge on the transition metal of a metallocene might have an important role in polymerization as an active site in our model approach. Using semiempirical calculations in the absence of cocatalyst, we show one of the possibilities that the positive charge on a metallocene might be more easily transferred through the Cp ring of a ligand to the ethylene than to transfer directly from the transition metal to the ethylene. In these calculations, the charge on titanium in an eight C2H4 system is transferred and a polymer chain is produced. This reaction takes place only when ethylenes are arranged in a particular direction with respect to the ring, but does not take place for ethylenes near Ti or Cl atoms. The same mechanism is shown for a metallocene ligand which is sterically hindered or where the Cp ring is replaced by fluorenyl. These results suggest an entirely new polymerization mechanism in the absence of a cocatalyst in which the Cp ring is the active site.

rac-$Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2$ 메탈로센 촉매와 메틸알루미늄옥산 공촉매를 이용하여 polyethylene, poly(ethylene-co-1-decene), poly(ethylene-co-p-methylstyrene) 및 poly(ethylene-ter-1-decene-ter-p-methystyrene)를 합성하였다. $^{13}C$ NMR과 $^1H$ NMR 및 FT-IR을 이용하여 삼원공중합체의 특성을 분석하였다. 삼원공중합의 최적조건을 확립하기 위해 동일한 중합조건을 유지한 채 촉매량, 공촉매/촉매 몰비, 중합 시간 및 중합 온도를 변경하여 실험하였다. 촉매량이 증가할수록 삼원공중합체의 촉매활성도 및 중량평균분자량은 증가하였으나, 중합시간이 30분을 초과하자 촉매활성도는 감소하였다. 공촉매/촉매 몰비를 증가시킨 결과 중량평균분자량은 감소하였고, 촉매활성도는 어느 정도 증가하였다. 촉매활성도는 중합온도가 증가함에 따라 상승하였으나 중량평균 분자량은 감소하였다.

In this study, flexible poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) was prepared using four types of metallocene catalysts (rac-Et(Ind)₂ZrCl₂, rac-SiMe₂(Ind)₂ZrCl₂, rac-SiMe₂(2-Me-Ind)₂ZrCl₂, (C₅Me₅)TiCl₂[O-2,6-ⁱPr₂(C₆H₃)]) and two types of borate catalysts (trityl tetrakisborate and dimethylanilinium tetrakisborate). The yield, catalytic activity, molecular weight, structure, composition, and thermal properties of the terpolymers prepared using the various catalysts and cocatalyst systems were evaluated. Epoxidation of the terpolymers was successfully performed and this transformation was studied by ¹H NMR and FTIR.

Novel flexible terpolymers with a reactive moiety were synthesized by coordination polymerization with a metallocene catalyst and a cocatalyst system. C2-symmetric rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 and tri-iso-butylaluminum/dimethylanilinium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate were employed as the catalyst and cocatalyst, respectively. We synthesized reactive terpolymers consisting of ethylene, a high α-olefin content (1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, and 1-dodecene), and divinylbenzene. The structure and composition of the terpolymers were characterized by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The catalytic activity, polymer yield, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution were measured as functions of the chain length and high content of α-olefins. Furthermore, the thermal properties and crystallinity of the terpolymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray scattering.

Several palladium complexes containing ${\beta}$-ketoiminate and ${\beta}$-diketiminate ligands successfully produced poly(DCPD) possibly via vinyl addition. It was found that catalysts with ${\beta}$-diketiminate ligands containing bulkier aryl substituents showed the highest activity in the presence of MAO as a cocatalyst. Purity of DCPD is quite essential for the higher activity and small amount of organic solvent such as $CH_2Cl_2$ and toluene is required to reduce the viscosity of the reactant mixture for the higher activity. $^1H$ NMR spectra of produced polymers with N,N-dimethylanilinium tetra(pentafluorophenyl)borate (N,N-DAPFAr"$_4$) show that 5,6-double bond of DCPD is removed with 2,3-double bond remaining. Produced poly(DCPD) with MAO cocatalyst is quite rigid and insoluble in common organic solvents but rather brittle.

다양한 종류의 메탈로센 촉매와 공촉매인 개질-MAO (MMAO)을 이용한 에틸렌 (E)과 노르보르넨 (N)의 공중합에서 중합조건이 촉매 활성 및 공중합체의 구조와 성질 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 즉 $C_2$-대칭구조를 가지는 rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$, $M_2$Si(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$, M $e_2$Si-(Cp)$_2$ZrC $l_2$ 및 $C_{s}$-대칭구조를 가지는 iPr(FluCp)ZrC $l_2$, 그리고 constrained geometry catalyst (CGC)와 이중다리 (di-bridged) 지르코노센 둥의 다양한 메탈로센 촉매를 사용하여 [N]/[E] 공급비에 따른 촉매 활성, 공중합체 (COC)의 열적 성질 및 N 함량을 조사하였다. rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$를 촉매로 사용한 경우에 공촉매의 몰비, 중합 온도 및 공촉매 종류 등의 중합조건을 조사한 결과 [Al]/[Zr]=3000, 4$0^{\circ}C$, MMAO 공촉매 등이 적합하였다. [N]/[E] 공급비가 증가됨에 따라 COC내의 N 함량이 증가하는 일반적인 경향을 보였으나, 촉매 활성은 사용된 메탈로센 촉매의 구조에 따라 달랐다. 즉 [N]/[E]가 증가할수록 $C_2$-대칭구조의 촉매 활성은 감소하였으나 $C_{s}$-대칭구조의 경우에는 증가하였다. 촉매활성과 N함량 등을 고려해 보면 rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$/MMAO계에서 비교적 높은 촉매 활성과 COC의 $T_{g}$제어가 용이한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 촉매종류에 따른 단량체의 반응성비를 Helen-Tudos 방법으로 구하였다.하였다.

길이가 다른 폴리메틸렌 다리로 연결된 이핵 CGC(Constrained geometry catalyst) $[Zr({\eta}^5\;:\;{\eta}^1-C_9H_5-SiMe_2NCMe_3)Me_2]_2\;[(CH_2)_n]$ [n=6(4), 9(5), 12(6)]를 2 당량의 MeLi과 대응되는 염소화합물을 반응시켜 합성하고 이들의 구조를 확인하였다. 합성된 이핵메탈로센의 중합 특성을 에틸렌과 1-hexene의 공중합을 통해 조사하였다. 이때에 사용된 조촉매로는 일반 조촉매 $Ph_3C^+[B(C_6F_5)_4]^-\;(B_1)$과 $(B(C_6F_5)_5)_3\;(B_3)$ 그리고 이핵조촉매 $Ph_3C^+[(C_6F_5)_3B-C_6F_4-B(C_6F_5)_3]^{2-}\;(B_2)$을 이용하였다. 중합 결과 촉매의 활성은 이핵메탈로센에서는 다리길이가 길수록 크게 나타났으며, 조촉매에서는 이핵조촉매가 가장 낮은 활성을 보였다. 조촉매의 특성은 공중합체에 존재하는 가지의 함량에서 잘 나타났다. 이핵조촉매($B_2$)를 사용하면 가장 가지수가 작은 고분자가 생성되었고, 조촉매 $B_3$에서 가장 많은 가지를 가진 공중합체가 생성되었다.
