POLYMERISATION (INCLUDING OLIGOMERISATION) OF OLEFINIC COMPOUNDS IN THE PRESENCE OF CATALYST, AND A CATALYST ACTIVATOR INCLUDING A HALOGENATED ORGANIC GROUP

摘要

According to the present invention there is provided a process for producing a polymenc (including oligomenc) product by the polymerisation (including oligomepsation) of at least one olefinic compound, by contacting the at least one olefinic compound with the combination of a polymerisation (including ohgomensation) catalyst and a catalyst activator The catalyst activator is a compound which includes at least one halogenated organic group which is bound to one or more binding atoms selected from the group consisting of a group 5A atom and a group 6A atom, which one or more binding atoms are in turn bound to a central atom in the form of aluminium The polymepsation (including ohgomensation) catalyst includes the combination of ?) a source of a transition metal, and n) a ligating compound of the formula (I). The invention also relates to a combination of a polymerisation (including ohgomensation) catalyst and a catalyst activator and to the use of such a combination in a polymerisation (including ohgomensation) process.
