RESUMO

In attempt to contribute to the application of organolanthanides as catalysts for olefin polymerization, we report the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity in ethylene polymerization ofthe organolanthanide compounds containing or not the ligands triphenylphosphine (PPh3) and pyrazole (HPz). The synthesis of the organolanthanide compounds was performed in steps, from lanthanide chlorides or bromides. In the first step the organolanthanide compounds LnX2Cp, X = Cl- or Br-, Cp = cyclopentadienyl and Ln = Sm, Tb, were prepared by the reaction of anhydrous LnCl3 or LnBr3 with NaCp in tetrahydrofuran, with molar ratio of 1:1 (Ln:NaCp). The second step involved the synthesis of SmBr2Cp(HPz) 2, TbBr2CpHPz, LnCl2CpHPz, Ln = Sm, Tb and LnX2CpPPh3, X = Cl-, Br- and Ln = Sm, Tb, by the reaction of LnX2Cp with the HPz or PPh3 ligands in toluene, with appropriate molar ratios. Elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, infrared spectroscopy and 1H NMR were the techniques used to charcterize the compounds. These classes of organolanthanide compounds showed catalytic activity ca. 4.0 gPE mmolLn-1h-1bar-1, in ethylene polymerization (3 bar, 70°C) with Al/Ln ratio of 2000, using polymethylaluminoxane as cocatalyst. the resulting polyethylene presented crystallinity of 39%.
