    Studies on Methylaluminoxane Catalyst Activators Chrysoula Pateraki PhD Thesis University of East Anglia School of Chemistry September 2014 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. i Statement of Original Work The work presented in this thesis has been conducted by the author, Chrysoula Pateraki, and is, to the best of her knowledge, original, except where references have been made to other people’s work. The corresponding references have been detailed in each chapter. i Abstract The first part of this PhD was devoted to the structural characterization of methylaluminoxane (MAO). Initially the work focused upon MAO formation by studying the hydrolysis reaction of trimethylaluminium (TMA), with a greater interest in the initial 1 reaction steps of TMA with H2O. This was attempted by using H VT NMR spectroscopy and by combining infrared spectroscopy with the matrix isolation technique. Low temperature NMR experiments successfully led to the identification of the AlMe3·H2O adduct as the first intermediate, followed by formation of Me2AlOH, when THF was employed as a solvent. Another approach focused on the characterization of MAO by developing a fast and reliable method for quantification of the TMA content of commercial MAO solutions via 1H- NMR spectroscopy with addition of donors. This research also showed that MAO contains a small amount of certain structures, which upon addition of THF or pyridine can lead to the + formation of cationic species [AlMe2L2] .
