Abstract:
1. A process for the preparation of oligomeric derivatives of olefin monomers, comprising contacting an olefin monomer or a mixture of olefin monomers under oligomer formation conditions with a catalyst composition to form oligomeric derivatives, wherein the catalyst composition comprises: (a) a Group 6 metal amide complex or compound, wherein the Group 6 metal amide complex corresponds to the formula wherein, M is a Group 6 metal; R X is an anionic ligand of up to 20 atoms not counting hydrogen, and optionally one or more X groups and/or one or more NR v is the valence of M, (b) a Group 1, 2, 12, 13 or 14 metal hydrocarbyl composition or compound, and (c) a solid support comprising aluminum phosphate, and wherein the oligomeric derivatives comprises an α-olefin product mixture of greater than 10 percent 1-octene and less than 90 percent 1-hexene, with less than 10 percent of all other α-olefin reaction products, and optionally polymer.
