In Situ Formation of Al(Fe)/Cl Metal Chloride Complexes and Evaluation of Their Catalytic Properties in the Reaction of Ethylene Oligomerization

Аннотация

According to FT-IR and UV spectroscopic data, the interaction of the Al/Fe alloy with tert-butyl chloride results in that AlCl₄^–, Al₂Cl₇^–, and FeCl₂⁺ ion complexes, Fe³⁺ ions, and AlCl₃ molecular form are produced in situ in the reaction medium. Ethylene was oligomerized in n-hexane on metal chloride complexes produced in situ from Al/Fe alloys and tert-butyl chloride.
