Abstract
| - [Cp*P(OMe)3CoCH2CH3]+ [BarF]-, generated by the addition of HBArF to Cp*P(OMe)3Co(ethene), catalyzes the oligomerization of 1-hexene to give dimers and trimers. When a deficit of the acid is used, linear α-olefin dimers are produced at the expense of trimeric products: e.g., 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene give 1-octene, 1-dodecene, and 1-hexadecene, respectively.
