Abstract
A method for the emulsion polymerization of one or more olefins by reacting a ligand of general formulae Ia and Ib or a mixture of at least two ligands Ia or Ib, wherein R respectively represents one or several of the following radicals; hydrogen, halogen, nitrile, C-C-alkyl groups, C-C-alkoxy groups, C-C-aralkyl groups, C6-C14-aryl groups, and wherein identical or different compounds of general formulae Ia and Ib can, optionally, be concatenated by one or several bridges, with a phosphine compound PR3' and a metal compound of general formula M(L)or M(L)(L), wherein the variables are defined as follows: M is a transition metal of groups 7-10 in the periodic system of the elements; Lrepresents phosphanes (R)PHor amines (R)NHwith identical or different radicals R, ether (R)O, HO, alkohols (R)OH, pyridine, pyridine derivatives of formula CH(R)N, CO, C-C-alkylnitriles, C-C-arylnitriles or ethylenically unsaturated double bond systems, wherein x is a whole number ranging from 0-3, Lrepresents halogenide ions RNH, wherein x is a whole number ranging from 0 3 and Rrepresents C-C-alkyl, and C-C-alkylane ions, allylane ions, benzylane ions or arylane ions, wherein Land Lcan be concatenated with each other by one or several covalent bonds, z is a number ranging from 0 4. The invention also relates to the immediate use of the reaction product in the polymerization or copolymerization of olefins in water or in a solvent mixture containing at least 50 vol. % water in the presence of an emulsifier and, optionally, in the presence of an activator.
