Abstract: The disclosure relates to olefin oligomerization processes and related zeolites and structure directing agents. The olefin oligomerization processes can exhibit relatively high conversions. The zeolites can exhibit comparatively high stabilities. The zeolites can have relatively high ratios of external surface area to total surface area. An exemplary zeolite is a beta zeolite having a relatively high ratio of external surface area to total surface area. The disclosure also relates to structure directing agents, and methods of using the structure direction agents to prepare the zeolites.

Abstract: A process for oligomerizing an olefin feedstock to produce an olgiomerization product, a method for analysing an oligomerization product, and an oligomerization product are disclosed. Preferably, the process comprises contacting the olefin feedstock with an oligomerization catalyst under effective oligomerization conditions, wherein the olefin feedstock comprises at least 50 wt % of one or more C6 olefins, based on the weight of the olefins in the olefin feedstock, and wherein the oligomerization catalyst comprises a crystalline molecular sieve, such as an intermediate pore size crystalline molecular sieve or a large pore size crystalline molecular sieve.
