Abstract
Propene can be oligomerized using Ru-3(CO)(12) as catalytic precursor in solution of a hydrogen donor solvent or in the presence of ethylene . Ethylene-propene mixtures undergo oligomerization in the presence of Ru-3(CO)(12) at 120 degrees C with conversions even higher than 80%. Higher olefins do not react in the presence of this catalytic system. Ruthenium hydrides and alkyls are suggested intermediates in this cata lytic cycle.
