Abstract: The number of active centers C p in the homogeneous complexes LCoCl2 and LVCl3 (L = 2,6-(2,6-R2C6H3N=CMe)2C5H3N; R = Me, Et, t Bu) and the propagation rate constants k p have been determined by the radioactive 14CO quenching of ethylene polymerization on these complexes in the presence of the methylaluminoxane (MAO) activator. For the systems studied, a significant portion of the initial complex (up to 70%) transforms into polymerization-active centers. The catalysts based on the cobalt complexes are single-site, and the constant k p in these systems is independent of the volume of substituent R in the ligand, being (2.4−3.5) × 103 L mol−1 s−1 at 35°C. The much larger molecular weight of the polymer formed on the complex with the tert-butyl substituent in the aryl rings of the ligand compared to the product formed on the complex with the methyl substituent is due to the substantial (∼11-fold) decrease in the rate constant of chain transfer to the monomer. At the early stages of the reaction (before 5 min), the vanadium complexes contain active centers of one type only, for which k p = 2.6 × 103 L mol−1 s−1 at 35°C. An increase in the polymerization time to 20 min results in the appearance, in the vanadium systems, of new, substantially less reactive centers on which high-molecular-weight polyethylene forms. The number of active centers C p in the 2,5-tBu2LCoCl2 and 2,6-Et2LVCl3 systems with the MAO activator increases as the polymerization temperature is raised from 25 to 60°C. The activation energies of the chain propagation reaction (E p) have been calculated. The value of E p for complex 2,5-tBu2LCoCl2 is 4.5 kcal/mol. It is assumed that the so-called “dormant” centers form in ethylene polymerization on the 2,6-Et2LVCl3 complex, and their proportion increases with a decrease in the polymerization temperature. Probably, the anomalously high value E p = 14.2 kcal/mol for the vanadium system is explained by the formation of these “dormant” centers.
