Barnett, K W

A method is described of oligomerizing an olefin comprising: contacting the olefin with a nickel zeolite catalyst at a pressure, temperature and for a time effective to cause oligomerization of the olefin; the catalyst comprising a bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Ni(O) compound deposited onto a zeolite support; wherein the bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Ni(O) compound is selected from the group consisting of (R/sub a/- 1,5-cyclooctadiene) (cyclooctadiene) Ni (O) and bis(R/sub a/- 1,5-cyclooctadiene) Ni (O) wherein R represents C/sub 1/-C/sub 10/ alkyl and ''a'' represents 0-8; and wherein the zeolite support is selected from the group consisting of omega zeolites and type Y zeolites.
