Abstract
We report herein that the catalytic system composed of a bis(benzimidazole)NiCl2 complex (1, bis(benzimidazole) = phenylbis(benzimidazol-2-yl)methane), Al(C8H17)3 (AlOct3), and [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] mediates highly cis-1,4-specific (up to 95 %) polymerization of isoprene (IP). This is the first nickel complex-based catalyst system that achieved the cis-1,4-specific IP polymerization with a selectivity of more than 90 %. The effects of AlR3 (R = iBu, Et, Me), AlEt2Cl and activator ([PhNMe2H][B(C6F5)4], B(C6F5)3, MAO) on the polymerization behavior were also investigated. The 1/AlOct3/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] system also catalyzed the cis-1,4-specific polymerization of other 1,3-conjugated dienes such as 1,3-butadiene (BD), (E)-1,3-pentadiene (EPD) and β-myrcene (MY) (up to 92 % for BD, 84 % for EPD and 72 % for MY).
