Spectral studies of a Cr(PNP)-MAO system for selective ethylene trimerization catalysis: searching for the active species.

ABSTRACT: Variable temperature spectroscopic, kinetic, and chemical studies were performed on a soluble CrIIICl3(PNP) (PNP = bis(diarylphosphino)alkylamine) ethylene trimerization precatalyst to map out its methylaluminoxane (MAO) activation sequence. These studies indicate that treatment of CrIIICl3(PNP) with MAO leads to first replacement of chlorides with alkyl groups, followed by alkyl abstraction, and then reduction to lower-valent species. Reactivity studies demonstrate that the majority of the chromium species detected is not catalytically active.

A Density Functional Study on Ethylene Trimerization and Tetramerization Using Real Sasol Cr-PNP Catalysts.

Project description:To gain molecular-level insight into the intricate features of the catalytic behavior of chromium-diphosphine complexes regarding ethylene tri- and tetramerizations, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The selective formation of 1-hexene and 1-octene by the tri- and tetramerizations of ethylene are generally accepted to follow the metallacycle mechanism. To explore the mechanism of ethylene tri- and tetramerizations, we used a real Sasol chromium complex with a nitrogen-bridged diphosphine ligand with ortho- and para-methoxyaryl substituents. We explore the trimerization mechanism for ethylene first and, later on for comparison, we extend the potential energy surfaces (PES) for the tetramerization of ethylene with both catalysts. The calculated results reveal that the formation of 1-hexene and 1-octene with the ortho-methoxyaryl and para-methoxyaryl Cr-PNP catalysts have nearly similar potential energy surfaces (PES). From the calculated results important insights are gained into the tri- and tetramerizations. The tetramerization of ethylene with the para-methoxyaryl Cr-PNP catalyst lowers the barrier height by ~2.6 kcal/mol compared to that of ethylene with the ortho-methoxyaryl Cr-PNP catalyst. The selectivity toward trimerization or tetramerization comes from whether the energy barrier for ethylene insertion to metallacycloheptane is higher than β-hydride transfer to make 1-hexene. The metallacycle mechanism with Cr (I)-Cr (III) intermediates is found to be the most favored, with the oxidative coupling of the two coordinated ethylenes to form chromacyclopentane being the rate-determining step.

Highly Efficient Ethylene Tetramerization Using Cr Catalysts Constructed with Trifluoromethyl-Substituted N-Aryl PNP Ligands.

Project description:Tetramerization of ethylene by chromium catalysts stabilized with functionalized N-aryl phosphineamine ligands C6H4(m-CF3)N(PPh2)2 (1), C6H4(p-CF3)N(PPh2)2 (2), C6H4(o-CF3)N=PPh2-PPh2 (3), and C6H3(3,5-bis(CF3))N(PPh2)2 (4) was evaluated. The parameter optimization includes temperature, co-catalyst, and solvent. Upon activation with MMAO-3A, the new catalyst system especially with m-functional PNP ligand (1) exhibited high 1-octene selectivity and productivity while giving minimum undesirable polyethylene and C10 + olefin by-products. Using PhCl as a solvent at 75 °C led to a remarkable α-olefin (1-C6 + 1-C8) selectivity (>90 wt %) at a reaction rate of 2000 kg·gCr -1·h-1. Under identical conditions, analogous PNP ligands bearing -CH3, -Et, and -Cl functional moieties at the meta position of the N-phenyl ring displayed significantly lower reactivity. The catalyst with p-functional ligand (2) exhibited lower activity and comparable selectivities, while the Cr/PPN (with ligand 3) system gave no noticeable reactivity. The molecular structure of the precatalyst (1-Cr), exhibiting a monomeric structural feature, was elucidated with the aid of single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.

Unveiling meta-Alkyloxy/-Silyloxy-Substituted N-Aryl PNP Ligands for Efficient Cr-Catalyzed Ethylene Tetramerization.

Project description:Novel N-aryl-functionalized PNP ligands (1-4) bearing m-alkyloxy/-silyloxy substituents were prepared and evaluated for chromium-catalyzed ethylene oligomerization using MMAO-3A as an activator. The selected Cr/PNP system under optimized condition exhibited high 1-octene-selective (up to 70 wt %) ethylene tetramerization at a remarkable rate (over 3000 kg gCr-1 h-1). More importantly, the undesirable polyethylene selectivity was restricted to a minimum level of ∼1-2 wt % for pre-catalysts derived with ligands 1 and 2. Employing chlorobenzene as a reaction medium yielded best productivity in conjunction to the total α-olefin (1-C6 + 1-C8) selectivity (∼88 wt %). N-aryl PNP ligands (3 and 4) incorporating m-silyloxy substituents in the phenyl ring exhibited relatively poorer tetramerization performance while yielding higher PE fraction as compared to their m-alkyloxy derivatives. A detailed molecular structure of the best-performing pre-catalyst 1-Cr was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The stability of 1/Cr-based catalyst system was investigated for a reaction time of up to 2 h under optimized condition.

Relay Catalysis for Highly Selective Conversion of Methanol to Ethylene in Syngas.

Project description:The precise C-C coupling is a challenging goal in C1 chemistry. The conversion of methanol, a cheap and easily available C1 feedstock, into value-added and largely demanded olefins has been playing a game-changing role in the production of olefins. The current methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process, however, suffers from limited selectivity to a specific olefin. Here, we present a relay-catalysis route for the high-selective conversion of methanol to ethylene in syngas (H2/CO) typically used for methanol synthesis. A bifunctional catalyst composed of selectively dealuminated H-MOR zeolite and ZnO-TiO2, which implemented methanol carbonylation with CO to acetic acid and selective acetic acid hydrogenation to ethylene in tandem, offered ethylene selectivity of 85% at complete methanol conversion at 583 K. The selective removal of Brønsted acid sites in the 12-membered ring channel of H-MOR favors the selectivity of acetic acid in CH3OH carbonylation. The high capabilities of ZnO-TiO2 in the adsorption of acetic acid and the activation of H2 play key roles in selective hydrogenation of acetic acid to ethylene. Our work provides a promising relay-catalysis strategy for precise C-C coupling of C1 to C2 molecules.

Efficient and selective catalysis for hydrogenation and hydrosilation of alkenes and alkynes with PNP complexes of scandium and yttrium.

Project description:Scandium and yttrium congeneric complexes, supported by a monoanionic PNP ligand, were studied as catalysts for alkene hydrogenation and hydrosilation, and alkyne semihydrogenation and semihydrosilation. The yttrium congener was found to be much more active in all cases, but this greater activity is accompanied by more rapid catalyst decomposition and therefore higher total yields for some of the reactions with the scandium catalyst. Calculations indicate that the reactions may proceed via ?-bond metathesis of the alkyl complexes to form metal hydride intermediates into which alkenes/alkynes insert.

Synthesis of Branched α-Olefins via Trimerization and Tetramerization of Ethylene.

Project description:α-Olefins are very important bulk and fine chemicals and their synthesis from ethylene, an abundantly available and inexpensive feedstock, is highly attractive. Unfortunately, the direct or on-purpose synthesis of olefins from ethylene is limited to three examples, 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene, all having a linear structure. Herein, the direct synthesis of 3-methylenepentane and 4-ethylhex-1-ene, branched trimerization, and tetramerization products of ethylene, respectively, is reported. Different molecular titanium catalysts, all highly active, with a selectivity toward the formation of the branched ethylene trimer or tetramer, the employment of different activators, and different reaction conditions are the key to selective product formation. The long-time stability of selected catalysts employed permits upscaling as demonstrated for the synthesis of 4-ethylhex-1-ene (52 g isolated, TON(ethylene) 10.7 · 106).

Selective Polymerization Catalysis from Monomer Mixtures: Using a Commercial Cr-Salen Catalyst To Access ABA Block Polyesters.

Project description:ABA triblock polyesters are synthesized using a commercially available chromium salen catalyst, in one pot, from monomer mixtures comprising epoxide, anhydride and lactone. The catalysis is highly selective and applies a single catalyst in two distinct pathways. It occurs first by epoxide/anhydride ring-opening copolymerization and subsequently by lactone ring-opening polymerization. It is used to produce various new ABA polyester polyols; these polyols can undergo post-functionalization and chain-extension reactions. The ability to use a commercial catalyst and switchable catalysis with monomer mixtures is expected to facilitate future explorations of new classes of block polymers.

Synthesis of Os Hydride Complexes Supported by the Diarylamido/Bis(phosphine) PNP Ligand and Attempts at Using (PNP)Ru and (PNP)Os Complexes in C-H Borylation Catalysis.

Project description:This manuscript describes the synthesis of Os complexes supported by the diarylamido/bis(phosphine) PNP pincer ligand. Compound (PNP)OsH(CO) (3-Os) was prepared by analogy with the previously reported 3-Ru. However, attempts to make (PNP)OsH3 (4-Os) analogously to 4-Ru resulted in the formation of an unexpected compound (5-Os) that is a product of addition of a BH3 unit across the Os-N bond in 4-Os. Nonetheless, 4-Os was prepared via an alternative route. Unlike 4-Ru, 4-Os appears to be a classical trihydride. Compounds 3-Ru, 3-Os, 4-Os, 4-Ru, and 5-Os were tested as potential catalysts for (a) dehydrogenative borylation of terminal alkynes (DHBTA) and (b) dehydrogenative borylation of benzene. No catalytic C-H borylation was observed for any of them, but all of them catalyzed unselective hydroboration of 4-MeC6H4CCH.

Spectral Library Searching To Identify Cross-Linked Peptides.

Project description:Methods harnessing protein cross-linking and mass spectrometry (XL-MS) offer high-throughput means to identify protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and structural interfaces of protein complexes. Yet, specialized data dependent methods and search algorithms are often required to confidently assign peptide identifications to spectra. To improve the efficiency of matching high confidence spectra, we developed a spectral library based approach to search cross-linked peptide data derived from Protein Interaction Reporter (PIR) methods using the spectral library search algorithm, SpectraST. Spectral library matching of cross-linked peptide data from query spectra increased the absolute number of confident peptide relationships matched to spectra and thereby the number of PPIs identified. By matching library spectra from bona fide, previously established PIR-cross-linked peptide relationships, spectral library searching reduces the need for continued, complex mass spectrometric methods to identify peptide relationships, increases coverage of relationship identifications, and improves the accessibility of XL-MS technologies.

Ga-Ni supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions (SCALMS) for selective ethylene oligomerization.

Project description:Non-precious metal supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions exhibit attractive performance in ethylene oligomerization. It is found for the Ga-Ni system on silica that the performance depends strongly on the applied Ga/Ni ratio. Ga-rich systems forming liquid alloys exhibit a far higher Ni-based catalytic activity than solid intermetallic compounds or Ni nanoparticles.
