Abstract
The anchoring of alumoxane, synthesized by the in situ hydrolysis of trimet hylaluminum, on the internal pore walls of a mesoporous MCM-41 support gene rates a highly active and selective host for bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dimethyl (Cp2Zr(CH3)(2)) in the oligomerization of propane. The regioselec tive preference of the immobilized metallocene is preserved and a typical F lory-Schulz distribution for the propene oligomers is obtained.
