Kinetics of propylene dimerization in the presence of a phosphite-modified, nickel based catalytic system
Propylene dimerization by a catalytic system consisting of nickel(II)acetylacetonate, triphenylphosphite and diethylaluminium chloride has been studied. A kinetic analysis shows a first order dependence on catalyst and a second order dependence on propylene.
