The cationic allylbis(ligand)nickel(II) complexes PF6 with L=P(OPh)3, P(OThym)3 and SbPh3 were found to be efficient catalysts for the oligomerization of propene under a l0 bar pressure of the monomer.The main products are dimers, and specifically the methylpentenes.The /Et2AlCl system catalyzes propene dimerization at atmospheric pressure with high activity, and selectivity similar to that of the cationic allylbis(ligand)nickel(II) complexes.In a kinetic analysis the rate law and the activation parameters ΔH<*> and ΔS<*> were determined for the propene dimerization with this catalytic system.
