Novel Cr-PNP complexes as catalysts for the trimerisation of ethylene.
Cr(III) complexes of tridentate PNP ligands have been prepared and evaluated as catalysts for ethylene trimerisation, with several giving high activity and excellent selectivity towards 1-hexene when activated with methylaluminoxane.
