The dimerization of propylene catalyzed by CoHN2(PPh3)3 at room temperature in benzene, leads to a mixture of methylpentenes.The kinetic study of this condensation shows that it is governed by the following equation rate: with f=K'+ K/; k= ca. 3*10^-2 min^-1.The complex Co(C3H7)(PPh3)3 is proposed as the catalytic active species.
