Abstract
Presents results of an investigation of the kinetics of the reaction of ethylene trimerization under the action of a homogeneous chromium-pyrrole catalyst.  Authors report that the reaction order with respect to ethylene decreases from 1.4 to a value close to 1 within 15 min after the start of the reaction.
This is due to the presence of two types of catalytic centers that catalyze the reactions of the first and second order with respect to ethylene.  They propose a model that includes the degradation of the second type of the catalyst during the reaction and inhibition of the activity of the first-type catalyst by the products.
