Chromium complexes continue to play an important role as catalysts for olefin oligomerisation and polymerisation, with many of these catalysts supported by N-donor containing ligation. A number of highly active catalysts for ethylene polymerisation have been developed in recent years, as well as new catalysts for highly selective ethylene oligomerisation. New developments in this area since 2003, in which chromium complexes of N-donor ligands are utilized, are discussed in subsequent sections.
