Abstract:
1. A process for producing an oligomeric product by the oligomerisation of at least one olefinic compound in the form of an olefin or a compound having a carbon to carbon double bond, comprising contacting the at least one olefinic compound with the combination of an oligomerisation catalyst and a catalyst activator, which catalyst activator is a salt containing an anion which includes a moiety of the formula and wherein M is selected from the group consisting of a group 3A atom; n is 1 or a larger integer; and R is a halogenated organic group, R being the same or different when n is larger than 1; and wherein the oligomerisation catalyst comprises the combination of i) a source of a transition metal; and ii) a ligating compound of the formula wherein X Y is a linking group between X m and n are independently 0, 1 or a larger integer; and R
