Synthesis and Evaluation of New Bis(imino) Pyridine Based Catalysts for Ethylene Polymerization

Three-component catalytic systems based on 2,6-bis(imino) pyridine iron(II) chloride were synthesized from different ligands, which provided new alternative catalysts for polymerization of ethylene. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the lack of absorption bands was observed in the region related to the carbonyl, as well as the presence of bands in the region of imino groups corresponding to C=N bonds. Coordination with Fe was also carried out.
