In this article are summarized the different mechanistic pathways for the oligomerization of monoolefins by homogeneous catalysts, particularly for ethylene and alpha olefins. The major topics are: the production of non regioselective and also regioselective olefin dimers, the production of linear alpha olefins by ethylene oligomerization as well as the selective dimerization of ethylene and its selective trimerization. Several industrial developments initiated by IFP are presented to illustrate this topic.
