Abstract
A silica‐supported monomeric alkylaluminum co‐catalyst was prepared via surface organometallic chemistry by contacting tris(neopentyl)aluminum and partially dehydroxylated silica. This system, fully characterized by solid‐state 27Al NMR spectroscopy augmented by computational studies, efficiently activates (nBu3P)2NiCl2 towards dimerization of ethene, demonstrating comparable activity to previously reported dimeric diethylaluminum chloride supported on silica. Three types of aluminum surface species have been identified: monografted tetracoordinated Al species as well as two types of bisgrafted Al species—tetra‐ and pentacoordinated. Of them, only the monografted Al species is proposed to be able to activate the (n Bu3P)2NiCl2 complex and generate the active cationic species. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
