Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 21 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the groups R are pi -allyl, benzyl, p-methylbenzyl, 1-methylene-1-naphthyl, neopentyl or trimethylsilylmethyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the metal M1 is rhenium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process as claimed in claim 3 in which the transition metal complex is hexakis( pi -allyl)dirhenium or bis(allyl)rhenium monhalide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the matrix material is silica or alumina.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the proportions of transition metal complex and the matrix material are so chosen that substantially all the reactable hydroxylic groups of the matrix are reacted with the transition metal complex.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process as claimed in claim 6 in which a suspension of the matrix material which has been freed from adsorbed water, is titrated with a solution of the transition metal complex.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 50 words
A process as claimed in claim 6 in which, prior to reaction with the transition metal complex, a sample of the matrix material has been characterised by adding to the sample a solution of a hydrocarbyl transition metal complex or a Grignard reagent and measuring the amount of hydrocarbon liberated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 126 words
A transition metal composition which is the product of reacting a transition metal complex of empirical formula RmM1Xp with a substantially inert matrix material having a hydroxylic surface which is free from adsorbed water, wherein M1 is a metal of Group VIIA of the Periodic Table, R is a hydrocarbon group or substituted hydrocarbon group of the formula -CH2Y where Y is a group of formula Z''(R'')3 where Z is silicon, germanium, tin or lead and each R'' is a hydrocarbon group or hydrogen, X is halogen, and m and p are integers, m having a value from 2 up to the highest valence of the metal M1 and p having a value from 0 up to 2 less than the valence of the metal M1.
