Аннотация:Nickel(II) complexes with pyrazole-based ligands are widely employed in catalysis of ethylene oligomerization and subsequent Friedel-Craftsalkylation of toluene. We have prepared ten new nickel(II) dibromide complexes with various substituted bis(azolyl)methanes. They have beencharacterized using 1H NMR, IR, high resolution mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The structures of three complexes have beenunambiguously established using X-ray diffraction. It was found that these complexes in the presence of Et2AlCl or Et3Al2Cl3 are active both inethylene oligomerization and Friedel-Crafts alkylation processes (activity up to 3720 kg·mol[Ni]−1·h−1oligomer ). The use of Et3Al2Cl3 results in the higher share of alkylated products (up to 60%). Moreover, catalytic systems activated with Et3Al2Cl3 produced small amounts of odd carbon number olefins (up to 0.8%). The Friedel-Crafts alkylation was used as a trap for previously undetected short-chain odd carbon number olefins(C3 and C5).
