SOLUBLE LATE TRANSITION METAL CATALYSTS FOR OLEFIN OLIGOMERIZATIONS

摘要

A series of soluble α-diimine late transition metal catalysts has been in­vented. The catalysts demonstrate high activity and selectivity for linear α-olefins. As such, these catalysts conveniently oligomerize ethylene. Typical activators as known to those of ordinary skill in the art are used to activate these tran­sition metal catalyst. These catalysts can be used in a supported or unsupported form.
