Abstract
A series of nickel complexes [Ni(L1)Br 2 ] (C1), [Ni(L2)Br 2 ] (C2) and [Ni(L3)Br 2 ] (C3) (L1 = N-isopropyl-N-(((diphenylphosphanyl)methyl)dimethylsilyl)-1,1-diphenylphosphanamine, L2 = N-cyclopentyl-N-(((diphenylphosphanyl)methyl)dimethylsilyl)-1,1-diphenylphosphanamine, L3 = N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(((diphenylphosphanyl)methyl)dimethylsilyl)-1,1-diphenylphosphanamine) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. L1, L2 and L3 each act as bidentate ligands. Upon activation with ethylaluminum dichloride, these complexes produce efficient catalytic systems for selective dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene, with catalytic activities of 3.45 × 10 7 g/(mol Ni ·h) and 95.6% butene selectivity containing 87.6% 1-butene fraction.
