Synthesis of cationic nickel(II) compounds for butadiene polymerization

ABSTRACT A series of cationic nickel(II) compounds with various counter ions ([BF4]–, [CF3SO3]–) and N‐bearing ligands (1,10‐phenanthroline, benzimidazole and terpyridine) were synthesized. The simple compound, Ni(Phen)2Cl2, was prepared as a reference compound. All title compounds were characterize...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT A series of cationic nickel(II) compounds with various counter ions ([BF4]–, [CF3SO3]–) and N‐bearing ligands (1,10‐phenanthroline, benzimidazole and terpyridine) were synthesized. The simple compound, Ni(Phen)2Cl2, was prepared as a reference compound. All title compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, and infrared spectra analyses and compounds, some specific ones, were further examined by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. Upon treatment with ethylaluminum sesquichloride, these nickel(II) compounds exhibited high activities (up to 88.5%/4 h) for butadiene polymerization and afforded liquid polybutadiene (Mw
