Abstract
The use of a buffered ionic liquid as a solvent for catalysts known to prod uce linear dimers from but-1-ene has been explored; this resulted in a sign ificant enhancement of the activity of known catalysts, combined with the r etention of both dimer selectivity and product linearity; in addition, the biphasic mode of operation allows easy catalyst recovery and recycle.
