A process for the preparation of alpha olefin oligomers having predominantly terminal unsaturation using a catalyst system comprising an alkyl aluminum halide component and a second component comprising at least one zirconium compound, preferably in combination with at least one titanium compound. There is also disclosed a catalyst composition for use in this process.

Process for the oligomerization of alpha olefins and catalyst therefor

Stable, substantially acid-free, one package moisture curable polyalkoxy-terminated organopolysiloxane compositions are provided having a condensation catalyst such as a tin compound. A method for making the aforesaid moisture curable organopolysiloxane compositions, is also provided.

One package, stable, moisture curable, polyalkoxy-terminated

Stable, substantially acid-free, one package moisture curable alkoxy-terminated organopolysiloxane compositions are provided having a condensation catalyst such as a tin compound and a silicon-free scavenger, such as an organic scavenger, for materials having chemically combined hydroxy radicals.

One package, stable, moisture curable, alkoxy-terminated

This invention provides a general method for the conversion of alkenes to primary vicinal diamines by use of a cobalt alkylnitroso complex and reduction with lithium aluminum hydride. A preferred species has the structure ##STR1##

Cobalt alkylnitroso complexes and methods therewith

One package moisture curable organopolysiloxane compositions are provided based on the use of a silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane, an alkoxy silane crosslinking agent and a vanadium compound as a curing catalyst. The moisture curable organopolysiloxane compositions are non-corrosive and substantially odor-free.
