Preparation and Study of a Monomethyl Indenyl Titanium Compound by James D. Modglin Honors College Thesis Research Advisor: Dr. Robert Morris ~..j ~ J~~03 Date: May 2, 2003 Chemistry Department - Ball State University ,t.". (' " -"'f' j" -'I ;l{':~'i::' A Note: ?[In,/~ . til Gd At tht: time that this thesis was written, my research with Dr. Morris was not complete. B.:cause I will be returning as a graduate student in the fall, my research will be finished in the first summer term following the completion of my undergraduate degree. As sllch, this paper is not complete in the sense that it is in a complete form fit for submission to a scientific journal. Even so, I believe that the experiences I have had during my year of research have given me a new look not only at my chosen career, but also into my own abilities as well. In light of this, I proudly submit this paper as a capstone to my undergraduate experience as well as the first stone in my continued path into the future. - - Acknowledgements: Although this is not a standard piece of a scientific paper, I feel it is both necessary and important to give credit to those who have allowed me to experience this opportunity. I want to thank the Ball State Chemistry Department and especially Dr. Bob Morris. It goes without saying that this has been one of the most difficult, frustrating, and rewarding projects I have ever had the pleasure of working on, and through it all Dr. Morris has been there to provide guidance, an ear to complain in, and a push in the right direction when needed. Although I will probably not get the chance to work for him again as a researcher, I am sure that his help will be indispensable in my future studies and possibly into my career. Abstract: A series of indenyl titanium complexes were synthesized and then studied using IH and l3 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques to determine the effects on these compounds by aqueous environments and olefins. After study, it was found that the target monomethyl titanium complex most likely forms a dimer when in an environment containing water. The synthesis of this dimer created a solid that was insoluble in many common solvents and slightly soluble in chloroform-d. The interactions between the target compound and the olefin styrene have yet to be probed, but the loss of the methyl group from the metal complex is quite possibly indicative of a potential polymerization activity around the metal center. - - - Introduction: The synthesis of useful compounds has always been a goal for chemists, but with the foundation of plastic syntheses this goal has become more complicated. As most people know, plastics are everywhere from the packaging of our foods to inside our very bodies. These materials are often polymers of more simple compounds, and the processes that allow for their production are a great area of study. An area of intense interest is the: polymerization catalysts that are the backbone of the production of many of these plastic~,. The area in particular that this research deals with is the polymerization abilities of a series of indenyl titanium compounds. These compounds are interesting because of their basic composition. The metal center's connection to the indenyl ring has the ability - to "slip," as shown in figure 1. M Figure I: Indenyl Slippage This is of intt:rest because the "slip" changes the electron count around the metal center, lowering it by two. This lowering of the electron count opens the coordination site on the metal center, allowing for increased reactivity with electron rich sites, such as olefins. This creates the possibility of a polymerization action through the use of this compound. The overall goal of this study is to determine the reactivity of the indenyl compounds produced as well as to determine whether there is the possibility that one or - more of these compounds act as polymerization catalysts when introduced to olefin containing compounds (e.g. styrene). The mechanism we believe is the backbone of this polymerization is shown in figure 2. Q OW> \ b enzen e-d. Cl-..._~-Ti \ Cl-----"1 i -CH H Cl 3 Cl Q b enzen e-d. \ Cl- - H -Ti - Cl 1----1--- C H 3 Figure 2: Proposed Mechanism ofIndenyl Compound Polymerization The theory behind this mechanism is as follows. When the indenyl ring "slips" from the '15 to the '13 position, the electron count around the titanium atom is lowered by two. This creates a coordination site on the titanium atom that is attracted to the pi electrons present in the olefin of the styrene molecule. This creates an insertion reaction that adds the methyl group already attached to the titanium to one side of the olefin while the opposite end associates itself with the titanium. This process is then repeatable so long as there are reactive olefin-containing compounds remaining. H H Type IV Catalysts The interest in the particular catalyst we study lies in the examination of other type IV polymerization catalysts. Some ofthese catalyst types are shown in figure 3. ~ ' " d + + M--R Figure 3: Examples of Type IV Ionic and Non-Ionic Polymerization Catalysts Some problems arise with specific types of catalysts, particularly the ionic catalysts. Since cations cannot exist without balancing anions, there is by necessity an additional component necessary to allow the catalyst to exist. Methlyaluminoxane (MAO) is added to these solutions, not only those that contain ionic catalysts for charge balance, and is an integral part of the initiation of the catalysis. MAO aids in the formation ofa methyl starter group associated with the metal, leading to polymerization. Unfortunately, the amounts neCt:ssary to allow the catalysts to function properly are exorbitant, often one thousand parts MAO to one part catalyst. For industry, this is too costly to be accepted unless there is no other option for the desired result. The ability to produce known plastics more efficiently and without additional costs from non-reactive species is a sought after property in the new polymerization catalysts being produced today. The goal of this study is to produce and observe a catalyst that not only works in the polymerizing of olefins, but to produce one that will hopefully outperform those existing in the current industry. - - Procedure: The procedures that were utilized in the synthesis of the molecules under study are outlined in the following sections. Synthesis ofIndenyl Titanium Trichloride [(r{C 9H7)TiChJ +00 CH2CI~ II TiCl4 Si(<:II3)3 T. I h,. 2 ~ ~ <:1~~i_<:1 ~l These procedures were performed in an atmosphere of argon under standard Schlenk manipulations or in the confines of an inert dry box. A solution composed of 1-(trimethylsilyl) indene (25.0 grams/0.l33 moles) in fifty milliliters of dichloromethane is added to a solution of titanium (IV) chloride (17.5 mi1liliters/0.16 moles) in one hundred fifty milliliters of dichloromethane in a two hundred fifty milliliter round bottom flask. The solution in the reaction flask immediately turns a dark red. The reaction mixture is then stirred overnight. The mixture is th'm filtered using a cannula equipped with a filter stick with the liquid component being transferred into a Schlenk flask. The Schlenk flask is then cooled at -20C overnight yielding dark red crystals of the desired product [(115-C9H7)TiCi)). Filtering the solution again yields a second crop of crystals when treated in the same manner. The filtration procedure should be repeated until no further crystals are obtained.

I Cl--~i-........Cl ~l These: procedures were performed in an atmosphere of argon under standard Schlenk manipulations or in the confines of an inert dry box. A solution oftrimethyl aluminum [AI(CHJhl (2.54 milliliters of a 2.0 molar solutionlO.00504 moles) in hexane (75 milliliters) was added to a solution of (11 5 _ C9H7)TiCb (1.354 grams/0.00503 moles) in hexane (75 milliliters) at room temperature through the use of a pressure equalized dropping funnel. The rate of addition was controlled to produce a flow of one drop per second. As the solution is added, the reaction mixture lightens from its original red color. After the addition is complete, the solution is allowed to stir at room temperature for an additional three hours. The result is a clear orange liquid with a white solid precipitate. The solution is filtered using a cannula equipped with a filter stick, with the liquid being transferred into a Schlenk flask. The Schlenk flask is then cooled overnight at -20C to yield red crystals of the desired 5 product (11 -C9H7)TiCH3CIz. The solution should be filtered again and cooled as described above to yield further crops of crystals. Yield: .5655 grams (45.14%) These procedures were performed in an atmosphere of argon under standard - Schlenk manipulations or in the confines of an inert dry box. In a single addition, 0.1 milliliters of distilled water was added to a solution of (115-C9H7)TiCH3Ch (.25 grams/.OOI moles) in hexane in a round bottom flask. The indenyl compound should be completely dissolved before the water is added. The solution is allowed to stir overnight. As the reaction progresses, bubble like structures fall out of solution and coat the walls of the flask. After the solution has stirred, the liquid is removed and the solid pumped dry using a vacuum. Because of the inability to find an adequate solvent for purification of the compound, no yield data is at this time available. Preparation of Dry NMR Solvents The solvents used in NMR spectroscopy during this experiment were dried using the following methods under standard Schlenk procedures. Benzene-d6 was dried using fine shavings of sodium metal in the presence of benzophenone. The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature until the solution's color turned a vivid blue-green to indicate the absence of water associated with the phenone. Chloroforrn-d was dried using small pieces of calcium hydride. Both of the solutions were vacuum distilled using a short path apparatus into separate Schlenk flasks super-cooled with liquid nitrogen. The NMR spectra of the solvents were taken to assure that their water content was within an acceptable range «1 ppm). If the spectra were not sufficiently water free, the drying processes were run again until the solvents were acceptable. - Instrumentation: The IH nuclear magnetic resonance data was collected using a JOEL 400 spectrometer at 400 MHz in either chloroform-d (CDCb) or benzene-d6 (C6D6) as noted on each spectrum. The J3 C nuclear magnetic resonance data was collected using a JOEL 400 spectrometer using either chloroform-d (CDCh) or benzene-d6 (C6D6) as noted on each spectrwn. - - Discussion: The compound under study proved both interesting and troublesome when attempts were made to observe its reactive properties. In the first series oftests, the compound was placed into an NMR tube and a spectrum was taken of the unreacted indenyl titanium complex (Indenyl Titanium Methyl Dichloride in Benzene-d6). Once the data showed that there were no anomalies in the expected spectrum of the compound, the tube was removed from the instrument and one to two drops of distilled water were added through a syringe. The tube was then returned to the instrument and the sample's spectrum tak,en as quickly as possible. Spectra were taken as quickly as possible and continually processed until the reaction had run to completion, approximately 30 minutes (Indenyl Titanium Methyl Dichloride + H20 in Benzene-d6, 0-32 minutes after addition). The disappearance of the methyl peak associated with the titanium complex leads to the belief that it is the methyl group that is lost during the reaction process, as the peak is the strongest sample peak in the first spectrum yet completely disappears as the reaction progresses. To aid in observing the structure of the compound, the NMR tube was pumped dry to remove the excess water and resolvated using chloroform-d. This produced an extremely clean spectrum that could be easily evaluated. The actual structure of the compound is still under some question, as the compound formed is highly insoluble in hexane, diethyl ether, and toluene. Fortunately, the product is at least slightly soluble in chloroform-d, so a clean spectrum could again be obtained when the reaction was run on a larger scale. The production of the product in both methods produced NMR spectra that were almost identical, showing that the reaction ran approximately the same on both scales. When examining the NMR spectrum from the flask-based reaction of the monomethyl complex with water, we see peak splitting that is characteristic of an AA 'BB' system of splitting. When examining an indene ring, we might expect to see only two typl~S of equivalent hydrogens present on the six-member ring. Examination shows, however, that the splitting is not consistent with an AB splitting system. The chemically identical hydrogens in the ring are not magnetically identical, which produces indene's AA'BB' splitting. When examining the spectrum from the reaction, the only hydrogens that are present are from the indene ring(s) in the compound. As was first assumed, the methyl group found on the original complex has been replaced. Unfortunately, when a l3e NMR was attempted, the concentration of the sample was not strong enough to produce a usable signal to noise ratio. A method must be devised to dissolve enough of the seemingly insoluble compound to aid in the determination of the overall structure of the new complex. The loss of the methyl group is encouraging, however, as this is the site of what is hoped to be the polymerization activity of the overall complex. If the methyl is the group that is forced away by the addition of the lone electrons on the oxygen, then it is indeed possible for the same to occur when the pi electrons of the olefin are introduced into the system. With the next step of this project, it will be determined whether this activity occurs solely in the presence of water, or if other areas of high-density electrons (such as olefins) will achieve similar goals. This research is scheduled to be completed by July 2003. Results: All NMR spectra can be found in Appendix A. All time values are after addition of the second reactant (H20). The new compound formed through the reaction of water with the monomethyl complex is still under study. With the inability to find a proper solvent for removal from the reaction matrix and recrystalization, it may be some time before the structure and activity of this compound is fully understood. In addition, the formation of the proposed dimer is an additional problem, as it is not known if this compound forms a crystalline cage structur,e or if it is a two molecule dimer without further interactions between unit cells. Further study into the mechanism and interactions of this compound are necessary before any solid determination can be made . . - Conclusions: The monomethyl metal complex synthesized and observed in this study seems to have properties that may signify its ability to act as a polymerization catalyst. The nonionic nature of the synthesized catalyst holds several benefits, including the ability to function without any additional molecules such as MAO. In addition, the appeal to industry of a catalyst that is able to work on its own will most likely be significant if it can replace current catalysts dependent on costly anions to balance them. There: do appear to be drawbacks to this catalyst as well. As the first section of this study has shown, this monomethyl complex is very reactive in the presence of water. Although there may be some way to resurrect the original catalyst or to use the new product in a useful way, the inability to use this complex in the presence of an aqueous environment can be detrimental to its overall use. - References: 1.
