Abstract
Abstract New three-component metathesis catalysts prepaed from a tungsten compound, an organic ligand and an organometallic compound of a metal belonging to Group I to IV of the Mendelyeev Periodic System are disclosed. More particularly, the disclosed catalysts are prepared from a tungsten oxychloride, an organic ligand containing a nitrile or ester group, and an organic aluminum compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
Catalysts for the metathesis of olefins and cycloolefins containing from 2 to 30 carbon atoms and prepared by mixing A. a catalyst-forming component which consists of a complex of a tungsten oxyhalide with (b) an organic ligand selected from the group consisting of phthalodinitrile, adiponitrile and ethyl phthalate, the molar ratio of (a) to (b) being from 1:0.5 to 1:10; with B. a catalyst-forming component which is an alkyl aluminium halide the molar ratio of (a) in component (A), the component (B), being from 1:1 to 1:5.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
Catalysts for the metathesis of olefins and cycloolefins containing from 2 to 30 carbon atoms and prepared by mixing A. a catalyst-forming component which consists of a complex of a tungsten oxyhalide with (b) an organic ligand selected from the group consisting of phthalodinitrile, adiponitrile and ethyl phthalate, the molar ratio of (a) to (b) being from 1:0.5 to 1:10; with B. a catalyst-forming component which is an alkyl aluminium halide the molar ratio of (a) in component (A), the component (B), being from 1:1 to 1:5.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
Catalysts according to claim 1, wherein the tungsten oxyhalide (a) is WOCl 4 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
Catalysts according to claim 1, wherein the ratio of (a) to (b) used to obtain catalyst-forming component (A) is from 1:0.9 to 1:1.5.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
121 words
The process of preparing catalysts for the metathesis of olefins and cycloolefins which consists essentially of reacting a tungsten oxyhalide as such with an organic ligand selected from the group consisting of phthalodinitrile, adipontrile and ethyl phthalate in a molar ratio of the oxyhalide to ligand of 1:0.5 to 1:10, in an inert atmosphere in a reaction medium consisting of a hydrocarbon of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent, and at a temperature of from -50°C to +50°C, until the tungsten oxyhalide is solubilized, to thereby form a complex, and mixing the oxyhalide ligand complex with an alkyl aluminum halide in an amount such that the molar ratio of tungsten oxyhalide to alkyl aluminum halide is from 1:1 to 1:5, to obtain the catalyst.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
