GROUP 8 TRANSITION METAL CATALYSTS AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME AND PROCESS FOR USE OF SAME IN OLEFIN DISPROPORTIONATION REACTIONS

摘要

These catalyst compounds are represented by the formula (I and VI): wherein M is a Group 8 metal; X is an anionic ligand; L is a neutral two-electron donor ligand; A is a monotopic or ditopic chelating ligand. The present invention also relates to an easy applicable catalyst synthesis and the application in different olefin metathesis processes, e.g. Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), rotational molding, vacuum infusion, vacuum forming, process for conversion of fatty acids and fatty acid esters or mixtures thereof, in -olefins, dicarboxylic acids or dicarboxylic esters, etc.
