Title: Supported organometallic catalysts for hydrogenation and Olefin Polymerization

Patent ·
OSTI ID:873757

Novel heterogeneous catalysts for the which hydrogenation of olefins and arenes with high conversion rates under ambient conditions and the polymerization of olefins have been developed. The catalysts are synthesized from Ziegler-type precatalysts by supporting them on sulfate-modified zirconia.
