Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to oligomerization of olefins, such as ethylene, to higher olefins, such as a mixture of 1-hexene and 1-octene, using a catalyst system that comprises a) a source of chromium b) one or more activators and c) a phosphacycle-containing ligating compound. Additionally, the invention relates to a phosphacycle-containing ligating compound and a process for making said compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A catalyst comprising a) a source of chromium; b) an activator; and c) a phosphacycle-containing ligating compound of the formula (II): wherein each R 5 is independently H, halogen, C 1-4 substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, C 6-10 substituted or unsubstituted aryl. 2. The catalyst as in claim 1 comprising a phosphacycle-containing ligating compound-chromium complex. 3. The catalyst of claim 1 comprising an isolated phosphacycle-containing ligating compound-chromium complex. 4. The catalyst of claim 1 comprising an in situ-formed phosphacycle-containing ligating compound-chromium complex. 5. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the source of chromium is selected from the group consisting of trichlorotris(tetrahydrofuran)chromium, chromium (III) acetylacetonate, chromium (III) 2-ethylhexanoate, and chromium (III) acetate. 6. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the source of chromium and the ligating compound are contacted in proportions to provide Cr:ligating compound molar ratios from 10:1 to 1:10. 7. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein at least one activator is selected from the group consisting of (hydrocarbyl)aluminum compounds, (hydrocarbyl)gallium compounds, (hydrocarbyl)boron compounds, (hydrocarbyl)zinc compounds, non-coordinating, ion-forming compounds, an organic salt, an inorganic acid and salt. 8. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the activator is an alkylaluminoxane. 9. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the source of chromium and the aluminoxane are combined in proportions to provide chromium:activator molar ratios from 1:1 to 1:10,000.
