The catalytic oligomerization of 1‐decene has been carried out employing several transition metal complexes of Co(II), Co(III), Zr(IV), Ti(IV), Cr(III), V(V) in combination with alkyl aluminum halides as cocatalysts. The chromium(III)‐Et3Al2Cl3 system exhibits good oligomerizing activity yielding dimers (C20), trimers (C30) and tetramers (C40) of 1‐decene. The kinematic viscosities and pour points of hydrogenated oligomers have been determined and compared with those of commercial samples. The probable mechanism of oligomerization of 1‐decene on this catalyst is described.
