Abstract
Cationic iron and cobalt acetonitrile cationic complexes were prepared and used as catalyst precursors in catalytic ethylene oligomerization. The effects of temperature and the nature and effects of the co-catalysts were evaluated. The iron and cobalt catalysts are less active, giving turnover frequencies of 20,000 to 30,000 h−1 while the corresponding nickel analogs exhibit turnover frequencies of 215,000 h−1. The iron and cobalt catalysts were more selective for the synthesis of 1-butene, especially at lower temperatures, compared to the nickel catalyst.
