Ethylene can be dimerized in excellent yields over a unique catalyst of palladium oxide with molybdenum oxide and/or tungsten oxide on a catalyst support. The catalyst is specific for ethylene. For example 52 weight % n-butenes were produced over a 2% PdO - 10% MoO3 on Alcoa H-151 alumina at an ethylene feed rate of 50 ml/min. at 35 DEG C. A 2% PdO-10% WO3 on Alcoa H-151 alumina at ethylene feed rate of 100 ml/min. and 70 DEG C. gave 56 wt. % n-butenes.
