The precatalyst 13-17 have been tested in oligomerization of ethylene with different<br />

amounts of AlEtCl2 or MAO as cocatalyst. The results showed that AlEtCl2 led to more active<br />

and less selective systems in α-olefins than MAO. Increasing amounts of MAO or AlEtCl2 as<br />

cocatalyst resulted in more active but less selective systems. The influence of the complexing<br />

arm of 9-12 was evaluated by comparing 4 with 13-16. It was found that its presence led to<br />

lower activities but better selectivity in C4 oligomers because it disfavored butene reinsertion.<br />

The comparison of 13-16 showed that the different complexing functions of the arm have no<br />

significant consequences on the catalytic results. Only 16 showed higher activities and lower<br />

selectivities with MAO as cocatalyst and lower activities with AlEtCl2 as cocatalyst than 13-<br />

15. The influence of the geometry of the complexes has been determined by the comparison<br />

between 13 and 17 and it was found that pentacoordination favored the insertion of olefins<br />

and led to higher activity but lower selectivity.<br />
