CO-OLIGOMERIZATION PROCESS

摘要

A process for the preparation of linear olefins comprises reacting ethane with at least one further alpha olefin under oligomerizing conditions in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a combination of a first component which is a bis(cyclopentadienyl) Group IVA metal compound containing a substituent capable of reacting with a cation and a second component which is a compound having a bulky anion containing a plurality of boron atoms and which is substantially non-coordinating under the reaction conditions and a cation, and recovering an oligomeric product comprising linear olefins.
