Selective Trimerization of α-Olefins with Immobilized Chromium Catalyst for Lubricant Base Oils

The demand for poly(α-olefin)s (PAOs), which are high-performance group IV lubricant base oils, is increasingly high. PAOs are generally produced via the cationic oligomerization of 1-decene, wherein skeleton rearrangement inevitably occurs in the products. Hence, a transition-metal-based catalytic...
