New catalytic systems on the basis of chromium compounds for selective synthesis of 1-hexene and 1-octene

Abstract

Based on the analysis of scientific and patent literature published over the period from June, 2010 to February, 2016, data on catalytic metal complex systems on the basis of chromium with various degrees of oxidation in the reaction of selective tri- and/or tetramerization of ethylene have been systematized and described. Key information about catalytic systems exhibiting high selectivity for higher alpha-olefins (1-hexene and 1-octene) or their mixtures is surveyed.
