Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preparation of zinc alkyl chain growth products via a catalysed chain growth reaction of an alpha-olefin on a zinc alkyl, wherein the chain growth catalyst system employs a group 3-10 transition metal, or a group 3 main group metal, or a lanthanide or actinide complex, and optionally a suitable activator. The products can be further converted into alpha-olefins by olefin displacement of the grown alkyls as alpha-olefins from the zinc alkyl chain growth product, or into primary alcohols, by oxidation of the resulting zinc alkyl chain growth product to form alkoxide compounds, followed by hydrolysis of the alkoxides.

Abstract: A method of preparing high purity dimethyl cadmium or dimethyl zinc suitable for use in the deposition of Group II-VI epitaxial layers, which consists of forming an adduct of the metal alkyl with a non-chelating tertiary amine containing at least two tertiary amino groups per amine molecule, and subsequently dissociating the adduct to liberate the metal alkyl as a vapor. The adducts formed during the preparative method are found to dissociate readily on heating and yet are substantially involatile and so do not contaminate the liberated metal alkyl. A preferred amine suitable for use in the preparative method is 4,4' bipyridyl.
