Synthesis of palladium(II) pyridyl acylhydrazone complexes and application to homo- and copolymerization of cyclic olefins

Description
Summary:A series of novel palladium(II) complexes bearing pyridyl acylhydrazone ligand were synthesized by the reaction of PdBr 2(NCMe) 2 with pyridyl acylhydrazone. These palladium complexes showed the high catalytic activity for polymerization of cyclic olefins such as norbornene (NB) or tetracyclododecene (TD). This paper show the first example for the palladium catalyzed polymerization of tetracyclododecene. A series of new palladium(II)/pyridyl acylhydrazone complexes were synthesized through the reaction of PdBr 2(NCMe) 2 and pyridyl acylhydrazone. The X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the palladium center is coordinated by two bromide atoms and two nitrogen atoms of pyridyl acylhydrazone ligand. This coordination mode of pyridyl acylhydrazone ligand forms a striking contrast to the corresponding nikel(II)/pyridyl acylhydrazone complexes. These new palladium complexes showed high catalytic activity for homopolymerization of cyclic olefins such as norbornene and tetracyclododecene, and for copolymerization of tetracyclododecene with norbornene in the presence of MAO.
