Structure sensitivity for ethene dimerization, homologation and metathesis on SiO2-supported catalysts derived from Mo(NMe2)4 and Mo2(NMe2)6
Abstract
The SiO2 grafted dimer precursor (Me2N)3MoMo(NMe2)3 specifically exhibited catalytic activity for ethene dimerization, whereas the monomer Mo(NMe2)4 derived catalyst showed high activity for ethene homologation, but was inactive for ethene dimerization.
