Abstract
Catalytic compositions and catalytic processes are provided. The catalytic compositions are produced by the process that comprises contacting an organonickel compound with a cyclicazacarbyl compound. Optionally, one or more catalytic promoters can be present in the catalytic compositions. Additionally, one or more olefins can be contacted with one or more of these catalytic compositions to form oligomerization products and/or polymerization products.
Claims24
A catalytic composition produced by the process comprising contacting an organonickel compound, wherein the nickel is in the zero valence state or able to be reduced to the zero valence state and the organic component is unsaturated, with a cyclicazacarbyl compound.
A catalytic composition produced by the process comprising contacting an organonickel compound, wherein the nickel is in the zero valence state or able to be reduced to the zero valence state and the organic component is unsaturated, with a cyclicazacarbyl compound, wherein said cyclicazacarbyl compound does not have a monocyclic/monoaza/pentacarbyl structure of the formula ##STR13## wherein each E.sup.4 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and (--COOH), provided that at least one E.sup.4 is (--COOH).
