Several nickel complexes [N,N]NiBr2, in which [N,N] indicates bidentate nitrogencontaining
ligands (1: [N,N]=N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxaldimine (C18H22N2); 2: N-(2,6-
diisopropylphenyl)-6-methylpyridine-2-carboxaldimine (C19H24N2); 3: N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pyridine-
2-carboxaldimine(C15H16N2); 4: N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-6-methylpyridine-2-carboxaldimine (C16H18-
N2) were synthesized. Some of the nickel complexes exhibit high activity for ethylene oligomerization in
the presence of an organoaluminum activator. The main factor aecting the activity and the structure
of oligomers is the steric eect of substituents on [N,N] ligands. Methylaluminoxane (MAO) -activated
catalysts showed higher activities and produced oligomers with higher molecular weight than Et2AlClactivated
ones. The oligomerization in toluene rather than hexane results in much higher activity, and the
oligomers produced in toluene have relatively high molecular weight. With activation of MAO or Et2AlCl,
the [N,N]NiBr2 system tended to produce highly branched oligomers with low a-olefin content, but the
a-olefin content could be increased by changing the reaction conditions.
