الوصف: Catalytic activity in olefin polymerization depends not only on the catalyst but also, crucially, on activator/alkylator/scavenger “packages.” Along with binary mixtures containing Lewis or Brønsted acids and Al-alkyl systems, methylaluminoxane (MAO), a still ill-defined oligomeric compound, is the only single-component cocatalyst known to fulfill all three roles effectively and simultaneously. Herein, we report a simple molecular alternative, Al-H-Al + [B­(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − , an unusual borate salt containing a homodinuclear Al-cation ( Al-H-Al + = [ i Bu 2 (DMA)­Al] 2 (μ-H) + ). Unlike the simpler [Al i Bu 2 ] + [B­(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − , this species is easily synthesizable and stable at room temperature. Importantly, Al-H-Al + [B­(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − can be used as a stand-alone cocatalyst for molecular olefin polymerization catalysis, representing an unprecedented molecular activator able to completely activate dichloride metallocene and prototypical post-metallocene precatalysts. Furthermore, spectroscopic and polymerization studies suggest that Al-H-Al + is the true activating species formed in situ in the binary cocatalyst [PhMe 2 NH] + [B­(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − /Al i Bu 3 . As little as 50 equiv of Al-H-Al + [B­(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − are required for efficient catalyst activation and impurity scavenging, orders of magnitude below the amounts usually required with MAO or Al i Bu 3 . The high, yet “tamed,” Lewis acidity of cationic Al-H-Al + is likely responsible for the increased scavenging ability. Unlike MAO, the well-defined structure of Al-H-Al + [B­(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − offers easy avenues for further tuning, making it the prototype of a promising cocatalyst family.
