Title: Christopher Russell: Inventor in Olefin Catalysis
Introduction
Christopher Russell is an inventor based in West Lafayette, Indiana. His work includes catalyst technologies for olefin reactions, and he is associated with Purdue Research Foundation. Russell holds 2 patents.
Latest Patents
Russell’s latest patent, “Zinc(II) and Gallium(III) Catalysts for Olefin Reactions,” describes an oligomerization catalyst and a method for using it. The catalyst has a single zinc(II) or gallium(III) metal-ion center bonded to a support through a shared oxygen atom. At least one metal–oxygen bond forms an active site for oligomerization.
The disclosed method reacts one or more C2 to C12 olefins with the catalyst at a temperature of about 200°C or higher. The process produces an oligomer product comprising C4 to C26 olefins.
