The present invention relates to a transition metal compound for an olefin polymerization catalyst, an olefin polymerization catalyst comprising the same and a polyolefin polymerized using the same.

After completion of the reaction, it was extracted with toluene and filtered. 107 mg (44%) of Isopropylidene [(cyclopentadienyl)-(7H-dibenzo[c,g]fluorenyl)] zirconium dichloride (the compound of the following chemical formula D), which is a red-brown solid compound having the following 1H-NMR spectrum, was obtained by washing with hexane after removing toluene under vacuum.
1H-NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 8.87 (d, 2H), 7.95-7.84 (m, 4H), 7.62-7.50 (m, 6H), 6.37 (t, 2H), 5.94 (t, 2H), 2.48 (s, 6H).
Ethylene and 1-octene were copolymerized as follows using an olefin polymerization catalyst including the compound of chemical formula A prepared in the Preparation Example 1.
First, a hexane solvent (1 L) and 1-octene (45 g) were added to a 2 L autoclave reactor, and the temperature of the reactor was preheated to 70° C. Next, the transition metal compound (4×10-6M) of chemical formula 2 of the Preparation Example 1 treated with a triisobutylaluminum compound was placed in a catalyst storage tank, and then inputted to a reactor by putting high pressure argon, and 2.4×10−5 M of dimethylanilinium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate cocatalyst was put into the reactor by putting high pressure argon.
After the ethylene gas was injected while controlling the ethylene pressure so that the total pressure in the reactor was maintained at 30 bar, the polymerization reaction was performed for 5 minutes. During the polymerization reaction, the heat of reaction was removed through a cooling coil inside the reactor to maintain the polymerization temperature as constant as possible at 90° C.
After the polymerization reaction, the remaining gas was removed and the polymer solution was discharged to the bottom of the reactor, and then cooling was performed by adding excess ethanol to induce precipitation. The obtained polymer was washed 2-3 times with ethanol and acetone, respectively, and then it was dried in a vacuum oven at 80° C. for 12 hours or more to obtain a [ethylene]-[1-octene] copolymer.
