Abstract
Organic compound conversion in the presence of a new class of heterogeneous catalyst is provided. Said new class of heterogeneous catalyst comprises a substrate having a minimum surface area of about 10 m.sup.2 /g and having pores with a minimum pore diameter of about 5 Angstrom Units, said substrate being modified by at least one amine functional member coordinated to a metal function, said amine functional member acting as a bridging member between said substrate and said metal function.
Claims29
A method for olefin dimerization which comprises contacting said olefin under conditions effective for dimerization with a catalyst comprised of a substrate of a porous refractory oxide, said substrate having surface hydroxyl groups, a minimum surface area of about 10 m.sup.2 /g and pores with a minimum pore diameter of about 5 Angstrom Units, said substrate being modified by at least one amine functional member, containing the element silicon, coordinated to a metal function of a transistion metal selected from the group consisting of Group VIII metals of the Periodic Table of Elements, said amine functional member acting as a bridging member between said substrate and said metal function, as a ligand covalently bonded to said substrate.
