Chromium compounds and uses in trimerization or oligomerization

U.S. Patent Number: 5382738

Abstract: Inorganic oxides, modified with a metal alkyl and an unsaturated hydrocarbon, can be used to support a metal source, such as, for example, chromium, and a pyrrole-containing compound. The resultant catalyst system can be used to oligomerize and/or trimerize olefins. Olefin oligomerization and/or trimerization processes are also provided.
