Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The catalyst [Cp2Zr(mu-Me)(2)AlMe2](+) [B(C6F5)(4)](-) ( 1 ) has been studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in order to better understand the complexities of catalyst deactivation in the polymerization of 1-hexene. Using off-line, online, and flow-based methods, we observe that zirconium pi-allyl species are unstable in solution and previously unobserved dimethylalane complexes are more stable. The dimethylalane complexes are resistant to further 1-hexene additions, and their formation represents a previously unrecognized pathway for catalyst deactivation.
