Catalytic composition and olefin disproportion process

摘要

The invention concerns a catalytic olefin disproportion (also known as metathesis) process wherein the catalyst produced by dissolving a tungsten and/or molybdenum compound, more particularly a tungsten and/or molybdenum halide substituted with one or more phenoxo groups containing at least two hydrocarbon substituents in the ortho, ortho' positions, in a medium produced by mixing at least one quaternary ammonium halide and/or at least one quaternary phosphonium halide, at least one aluminium halide, and an organometallic aluminium compound.
