Abstract

The series of bidentate N^N iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes containing 8-(1-aryliminoethylidene)quinaldine derived ligands, 8-[2,6-(R¹)₂-4-R²-C₆H₂N=C (Me)]-2-Me-C₁₀H₅N, were synthesized and characterized by elemental and spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of Co1 (R¹ = Me, R² = H), Co3 (R¹ = ⁱPr, R² = H) and Co4 (R¹ = R² = Me) were confirmed as the distorted tetrahedral by single crystal X-ray diffraction. On treatment with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), these complexes exhibited good catalytic activities of up to 5.71×10⁵ g mol^-1(Fe) h^-1 for the ethylene dimerization at 30°C under 10 atm of ethylene, in which iron pre-catalysts produced butenes with a high selectivity for a-butene. The correlation between metal complexes, catalytic activities and the product formed were investigated under various reaction parameters.
