METALLOCOMPLEX CATALYST OF THE ADDITION REACTION OF CCl4 TO ETHYLENE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01184533

The catalyst Fe^IIFe2^IIICl8 (DMA)6-iron(2+)diiron(3+)octachlorohexakis(dimethylacetamide), was isolated from the media of the catalytic synthesis of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane (C3), and characterized by physicochemical methods.A counter synthesis of the catalyst was carried out.The telomerization of ethylene with CCl4 proceeds with a 98percent selectivity with respect to C3 in its presence, while the conversion of CCl4 reaches 55-60percent after 4 h.A coordination-ionic mechanism of the reaction of CCl4 with C2H4 was proposed, which followed the concept of the donor-acceptor electron-transporting systems (the DAET systems), thus accounting for its high selectivity.
