Oligomerisation of butadiene by use of nickel– or palladium–hydride complexes as catalyst precursors, and related studies
Abstract
It is shown that the ability of some hydrides, trans-MHX(PR3)2, where M = Ni or Pd, to act as catalysts for butadiene oligomerisation depends markedly both on the nature of the substituent X and on the solvent. The cationic hydrides [PdH(PR3)(dppe)]+PF6–, where R = cyclohexyl or Pri have been prepared and their reactions with butadiene explored.
