TY  - JOUR
AB  - The mechanism of ethylene trimerisation and tetramerisation with chromium–diphosphinoamine (Cr–PNP)catalysts has been studied by experimental and theoretical (DFT) methods. The effects of a pendant etherdonor (ortho-methoxyaryl ligand substitution) and of anion coordination to the active species have beenstudied. In the former case, coordination of the ether donor to chromium favours 1-hexene by suppressingformation of the bisethylene) chromacyclopentane intermediate which is postulated to be the major routeto 1-octene. The effect of anion coordination is similar and as the coordination strength increases, displacementof the anion by a second ethylene ligand becomes more difficult, again favouring trimerisationover tetramerisation. Hence, the experimentally observed effects of pendant donor coordination andchanges in anion coordination strength can be rationalised.
