Abstract
Treatment of [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)ZrF2] with Me3SiOSO2R(R = CF3, C6H4-p-C H3) yield both the monosubstituted [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)ZrF(OSO2R)] (1, R = CF3; 2, R = C6H4-p-CH3) and disubstituted [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)Zr(OSO2 R)(2)] (3, R = CF3; 4, R = C6H4-p-CH3) sulfonate complexes, when using stoichiometric amounts of reagents. An X-ray diffraction study of 3 r evealed that the trifluoromethanesulfonate ligands are covalently boun d to zirconium. Compounds 1-4 along with [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)ZrF(OCOCF3) ] (5) and [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)ZR(OCOCF3)(2)] (6) were investigated as ca talysts for the polymerization of ethylene in combination with methyla luminoxane (MAO).
