Development of new late transition metal catalysts for the oligomerisation of ethene

The oligomerisation of ethene to linear l-alkenes is an important industrial process. The recent discovery of iron and cobalt bisiminopyridyl and nickel and palladium a-diimine catalysts for the polymerisation and oligomerisation of l-alkenes has stimulated interest in the use of late transition metals as catalysts for these processes.
