FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: described is a homogeneous catalyst for production of linear alpha olefins through oligomerisation of ethylene, consisting of a zicornium salt of organic acids and a cocatalyst. The cocatalyst is a mixture of alkyl aluminium compounds, chosen from the group Al(C2H5)3, AlCl(C2H5)2, Al2Cl3(C2H5)3 and AlCl2(C2H5), and aluminium chloride. Molar ratio of chlorine to aluminium in the cocatalyst can be varied from 1.0 to 1.3.
EFFECT: increased catalyst activity.
