Abstract: A new group of nickel ylides is provided that is highly active at relatively low operating temperatures and pressures in the oligomerization of ethylene. The compounds can be defined by the following Formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.
Abstract: Polydentate phosphonium salts, prepared by reacting a polydentate phosphine containing two or more trivalent phosphorous atoms with various mono or difunctional organic halides, are effective agents for treating glass and specifically glass capillary chromatographic columns.
