Abstract:
A DFT quantum chemical calculations have been performed in order to optimize the geometric and electronic cage structure of polymethylalumoxane (MAO) with oligomerization degree n =12 and find such structures that fit most closely the existing experimental data on the MAO composition and structure. The following peculiarities of the MAO structure were found: i) In “classic” MAO (ratio A1:CH3:O = 1:1:1), which has triple-layer cage structure, the inner layer contains highly reactive bonds Al-O. ii) Reaction between “classic MAO” and trimethylaluminium (TMA) proceeds by the concerted mechanism with the insertion of A1-CH3 groups into these Al-O bonds. The reaction produces “true” MAO showing ratio A1:CH3:O = 1:1.5:0.75. Calculated geometry and electronic structures of “true” MAO with n= 12 are presented. iii) “True” MAO and “classic” MAO exist in equilibrium. Driving force for the formation of “true” MAO is the decrease of enthalpy, and of “classic” MAO is the increase of entropy in the equilibrium reaction between “classic” MAO and A1(CH3)3
