Transition metal complexes with trivalent phosphorus compounds useful as stabilizers for polymers

Abstract

Abstract ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT ABSORBERS AND STABILIZERS, PARTICULARLY FOR MONOOLEFIN POLYMERS, ARE PROVIDED FROM METAL COMPLEXES OF TRIVALENT PHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS OF THE FORMULAE ME(L)N(A)M(L'')O WHERE ME IS PREFERABLY NICKEL BUT CAN BE MANGANESE, IRON, COPPER, MOLYBDENUM OR TUNGSTEN, L IS (P(X)(Y)(Z) WHERE ANY ONE OR ALL OF X, Y AND Z CAN BE O HYDROCARBYL, -N(-R31)-R32 WHERE R31 AND R32 ARE HYDROCARBYL OR HYDROGEN, S HYDROCARBYL, HYDROCARBYL, 2 OR 3 OF X, Y AND Z CAN FORM ONE OR MORE HETEROCYCLIC RINGS WITH P, A IS AN ANION SUCH AS HALOGEN, E.G. CL, BR, I OR F, NO3, CLO4, R33COOWHERE R33 IS HYDROCARBYL, ANY HYDROCARBYL GROUP CAN HAVE 1 OR 2 HALOGEN SUBSTITUENTS, M IS 0 OR A SMALL WHOLE NUMBER, E.G. 1, 2, 3, 4, L'' IS CO, NO, CN, HALOGEN, O IS ZERO OR A SMALL WHOLE NUMBER, E.G. 1, 2, 3, 4, N IS 1 OR ANOTHER SMALL WHOLE NUMBER,E.G.2,3,4,O+M+N IS NOT GREATER THAN THE HIGHEST COORDINATION NUMBER OF THE METAL.
