Description: ORGANOMOLYBDENUM COMPLEXES AS FRICTION MOIDIFIΞRS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention It is well known that molybdenum compounds added to lubricating oils, depending on their structure, can play a significant role as both friction modifiers and as anti-wear additives. The present invention is related to lubricating oil additives and lubricant compositions, and more particularly to a novel class of molybdenum-based friction modifier additives derived from organo-imido molybdenum complexes that can be incorporated into lubricating oils. The purpose of the present invention is to provide additives that can reduce friction and aid formulators of engine oils to meet new requirements for passenger car motor oils, such as ILSAC GF-3. 2. Description of Related Art Regulatory agencies today are seeking to improve the fuel economy of motor vehicles through legislation (CAFE requirements) that puts the responsibility for achieving such economy on the motor vehicle manufacturers, who in turn transfer at least a portion of this responsibility to lubricant oil manufacturers by means of engine oil specifications. As these fuel economy requirements become more and more rigorous, it becomes more and more important to incorporate friction modifier additives into lubricant compositions. It is well known that the fuel efficiency of engine oils can be improved by using friction reducing additives. It is also well understood that these additives must be active at engine operational temperature in order to be most effective. In addition, zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) have been used in formulated oils as antiwear and antioxidant additives for more than 50 years. However, zinc dialkyldithiophosphates give rise to ash, which contributes to particulate matter in automotive exhaust emissions. Regulatory agencies are seeking to reduce emissions of zinc into the environment. Moreover, the phosphorus present in the dialkyldithiophosphates is also suspected of limiting the service life of catalytic converters that are used on vehicles to reduce pollution. It is important to limit the particulate matter and pollution formed during engine use for toxicological and environmental reasons, but it is also important to maintain undiminished the antiwear properties of the lubricating oil. In view of the aforementioned shortcomings with the known zinc- and phosphorus-containing additives, it is a further object of this invention to provide antiwear additives that contain neither zinc nor phosphorus. In developing lubricating oils, there have been many attempts to provide additives that impart antifrictional or oiliness properties. Molybdenum compounds are known to be useful as friction modifiers and antioxidants and to be capable of providing antiwear and extreme pressure resistance properties in lubricating oil compositions. Thiocarbamate additives for lubricating oils, particularly molybdenum-containing thiocarbamates, have been disclosed in the patent literature. U.S. Patent No. 3,419,589 discloses a process for the preparation of molybdenum (VI) dialkyldithiocarbamate complexes and sulfurized derivatives thereof in substantially high yields by the dilute nitric acid acidification of alkali dialkyldithiocarbamates and alkali molybdates and the subsequent treatment thereof with hydrogen sulfide to form the sulfurized derivatives of the reaction product.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As disclosed above, the present invention is directed to a composition of matter that is useful as a friction-modifying additive to lubricants, especially lubricating oils. The composition is a compound of the formula (Z-N=) 2 Mo(S 2 CNR 2 ) 2 wherein Z and R are independently selected from the group consisting of linear hydrocarbon groups, branched hydrocarbon groups, cyclic hydrocarbon groups, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the hydrocarbon groups referred to have from 1 to about 44 carbon atoms, more preferably from 1 to about 22 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon groups can be fully saturated or partially unsaturated and can have either a straight chain or a branched chain or they can be cyclic.

Alkyl radicals having from about 3 to about 30 carbon atoms and aryl radicals having about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms are preferred. Particularly preferred R 16 and R 17 radicals are alkyl of 4 to 18 carbon atoms. The phosphorodithioic acids are readily obtainable by the reaction of phosphorus pentasulfide and an alcohol or phenol. The reaction involves mixing, at a temperature of about 20° C to about 200° C, four moles of the alcohol or phenol with one mole of phosphorus pentasulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is liberated as the reaction takes place. Mixtures of alcohols, phenols, or both can be employed, e.g., mixtures of C 3 to C 30 alcohols, C 6 to C 30 aromatic alcohols, etc. The metals useful to make the phosphate salts include Group I metals, Group II metals, aluminum, lead, tin, molybdenum, manganese, cobalt, and nickel.

In some instances, the incorporation of certain ingredients, particularly carboxylic acids or metal carboxylates such as small amounts of the metal acetate or acetic acid used in conjunction with the metal reactant will facilitate the reaction and result in an improved product. For example, the use of up to about five percent of zinc acetate in combination with the required amount of zinc oxide facilitates the formation of a zinc phosphorodithioate. The preparation of metal phosphorodithioates is well known in the art and is described in a large number of issued patents, including U.S. Patent Numbers 3,293,181, 3,397,145, 3,396,109, and 3,442,804, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Also useful as antiwear additives are amine derivatives of dithiophosphoric acid compounds such as are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,637,499, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The zinc salts are most commonly used as antiwear additives in lubricant oil in amounts of 0.1 to 10, preferably 0.2 to 2, weight percent, based upon the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. They may be prepared in accordance with known techniques by first forming a dithiophosphoric acid, usually by reaction of an alcohol or a phenol with P 2 S 5j and then neutralizing the dithiophosphoric acid with a suitable zinc compound. Mixtures of alcohols may be used including mixtures of primary and secondary- alcohols, secondary generally for imparting improved antiwear properties, and primary for thermal stability. Mixtures of the two are particularly useful. In general, any basic or neutral zinc compound could be used, but the oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates are most generally employed. Commercial additives frequently contain an excess of zinc owing to the use of an excess of basic zinc compound in the neutralization reaction. The zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates (ZDDP) are oil soluble salts of dihydrocarbyl esters of dithiophosphoric acids and may be represented by the following formula wherein R 16 and R 17 are as described in connection with the previous formula. Where additional additives are employed in the practice of the present invention, it is especially preferred that they be selected from the group consisting of zinc dialkyldithiophosphates, zinc diaryldithiophosphates, alkylated diphenylamines, hindered alkylated phenolics, and mixtures thereof. Compositions, when containing these additives, typically are blended into the base oil in amounts that are effective to provide their normal attendant function. Representative effective amounts of such additives are illustrated as follows: When other additives are employed, it may be desirable, although not necessary, to prepare additive concentrates comprising concentrated solutions or dispersions of the subject additives of this invention (in concentrate amounts hereinabove described), together with one or more of the other additives (the concentrate when constituting an additive mixture being referred to herein as an additive-package) whereby several additives can be added simultaneously to the base oil to form the lubricating oil composition. Dissolution of the additive concentrate into the lubricating oil can be facilitated by solvents and by mixing accompanied by mild heating, but this is not essential. The concentrate or additive-package will typically be formulated to contain the additives in proper amounts to provide the desired concentration in the final formulation when the additive-package is combined with a predetermined amount of base lubricant. Thus, the subject additives of the present invention can be added to small amounts of base oil or other compatible solvents along with other desirable additives to form additive-packages containing active ingredients in collective amounts of typically about 2.5 to about 90 percent, and preferably about 15 to about 75 percent, and most preferably about 25 to about 60 percent by weight additives in the appropriate proportions with the remainder being base oil. The final formulations can employ typically about 1 to 20 weight percent of the additive-package with the remainder being base oil. All of the weight percentages expressed herein (unless otherwise indicated) are based on active ingredient (Al) content of the additive and/or upon the total weight of any additive- package or formulation, which will be the sum of the At weight of each additive plus the weight of total oil or diluent. In general, the lubricant compositions of the present invention contain the additives in a concentration ranging from about 0.05 to about 30 weight percent. A concentration range for the additives ranging from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the oil composition is preferred. A preferred concentration range is from about 0.2 to about 5 weight percent. Oil concentrates of the additives can contain about 1 to about 75 weight percent of the additive reaction product in a carrier or diluent oil of lubricating oil viscosity. In general, the additives of the present invention are useful in a variety of lubricating oil basestocks. The lubricating oil basestock is any natural or synthetic lubricating base oil stock fraction having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C of about 2 to about 200 cSt, more preferably about 3 to about 150 cSt, most preferably about 3 to about 100 cSt. The lubricating oil basestock can be derived from natural lubricating oils, synthetic lubricating oils, or mixtures thereof. Suitable lubricating oil basestocks include basestocks obtained by isomerization of synthetic wax and wax, as well as hydrocrackate basestocks produced by hydrocracking (rather than solvent extracting) the aromatic and polar components of the crude. Natural lubricating oils include animal oils, vegetable oils (e.g., rapeseed oils, castor oils, and lard oil), petroleum oils, mineral oils, and oils derived from coal or shale. Synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils, such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins, alkylbenzenes, polyphenyls, alkylated diphenyl ethers, alkylated diphenyl sulfides as well as their derivatives, analogs, and homologs, and the like. Synthetic lubricating oils also include alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers, copolymers, and derivatives thereof wherein the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc. Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids with a variety of alcohols. Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C 5 to C 12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers. Silicon-based oils (such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy- siloxane oils and silicate oils) comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricating oils. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids, polymeric tetrahydrofurans, polyalphaolefins, and the like. The lubricating oil can be derived from unrefined, refined, rerefined oils, or mixtures thereof. Unrefined oils are obtained directly from a natural source or synthetic source (e.g., coal shale, or tar and bitumen) without further purification or treatment. Examples of unrefined oils include a shale oil obtained directly from a retorting operation, a petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation, or an ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process, each of which is then used without further treatment. Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except that refined oils have been treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Suitable purification techniques include distillation, hydrotreating, dewaxing, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration, and percolation, all of which are known to those skilled in the art. Rerefined oils are obtained by treating refined oils in processes similar to those used to obtain the refined oils. These rerefined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and often are additionally processed by techniques for removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products. Lubricating oil base stocks derived from the hydroisomerization of wax can also be used, either alone or in combination with the aforesaid natural and/or synthetic base stocks. Such wax isomerate oil is produced by the hydroisomerization of natural or synthetic waxes or mixtures thereof over a hydroisomerization catalyst. Natural waxes are typically the slack waxes recovered by the solvent dewaxing of mineral oils; synthetic waxes are typically the wax produced by the Fisher-Tropsch process. The resulting isomerate product is typically subjected to solvent dewaxing and fractionation to recover various fractions of specific viscosity range. Wax isomerate is also characterized by processing very high viscosity indices, generally having a VI of at least 130, preferably at least 135 and higher, and, following dewaxing, a pour point of about -20°C and higher. The additives of the present invention are especially useful as components in many different lubricating oil compositions. The additives can be included in a variety of oils with lubricating viscosity, including natural and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. The additives can be included in crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression- ignited internal combustion engines. The compositions can also be used in gas engine lubricants, turbine lubricants, automatic transmission fluids, gear lubricants, compressor lubricants, metal-working lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and other lubricating oil and grease compositions. The additives can also be used in motor fuel compositions. The advantages and the important features of the present invention will be more apparent from the following examples.

Example 7 Cameron-Plint TE77 High Frequency Friction Machine Friction Coefficient Testing The anti-friction properties of the novel reaction product in a fully formulated lubricating oil were determined in the Cameron Plint TE77 Friction Test. The fully formulated lubricating oils tested contained 1 wt. % of the additive to be tested. The additives were tested for effectiveness in a motor oil at increasing temperature points and compared to identical formulations with and without the friction. In Table 1, the numerical value of the test results (Coefficient of Friction) decreases with an increase in effectiveness. In other words, the lower the Friction Coefficient value the better the additive is at reducing friction. The test procedure for determining the friction coefficient with the Cameron-Plint TE77 High Frequency Friction Machine is as follows. Ten mL of an oil sample containing additive is placed in the test chamber so as to cover a flat stationary hardened ground NSOH B01 Gauge Plate ( C 60/0.4micron). A reciprocating specimen, a 16 mm long nitrided steel dowel pin (6 mm diameter, 60 Re), is placed on top of the steel plate under 50 Newton load, allowed to heat up to 35° C from room temperature over 10 minutes and maintained at 35° C for 5 minutes. Then, with the 50 Newton load in place, the reciprocation frequency of 5 Hertz is begun with a 15 millimeter amplitude stroke length. The temperature is then ramped up to 50° C over 10 minutes and maintained at 50° C for 5 minutes. The load is then increased to 100 Newtons and the temperature is ramped up to 165° C over 1 hour. Friction Coefficient data are collected between 60-160° C. The flat specimen is cleaned between runs with hexanes and #500 emery cloth. A new dowel pin or surface of the dowel pin is used each time. A reference oil is run alternately between experimental oils. The same flat specimen is used until the reference oil no longer provides reproducible results. The motor oil formulation tested is a SAE 10W-30 grade containing dispersant, detergent, antioxidant, rust inhibitor, pour point depressant, OCP VI Improver, and anti-wear additive. Friction modifier was added as a top treat to this formula. 1 The reference oil is a fully formulated 10W-30 gasoline crank case motor oil containing no friction modifier. 2 CFM is an ashless commercially available friction modifier based upon a mixture of fatty acid amides, glycerol esters, and glycerol. Example 8 Four-Ball Anti-Wear Testing The anti-wear properties of the novel reaction product in a fully formulated lubricating oil were determined in the Four-Ball Wear Test under the ASTM D 4172 test conditions. The fully formulated lubricating oils tested also contained 1 wt. % cumene hydroperoxide to help simulate the environment within a running engine. The additives were tested for effectiveness in two motor oil formulations (see Table 2) and compared to identical formulations with and without any zinc dialkyldithiophosphate. In Table 3 the numerical value of the test results (Average Wear Scar Diameter, mm) decreases with an increase in effectiveness.
