Aluminum can be dissolved by ethylene in the presence of aluminum trichloride to form primarily bis-(dichloro-aluminum)-ethanes (1) and (2) or in the presence of ethyl aluminum dichloride to form chloro-aluminum-ethyl-(dichloroaluminum)-ethane (3) and/or a tris-aluminum compound Cl2Al-C2H4-Al(Cl)-C2H4-Al(Cl)Et (4). 1-4 reacts further with olefins, with elimination of alkyl aluminum dichloride and/or dialkyl aluminum chloride, which are practically inert towards olefins.The C2H4-bridge is available to the growth and displacement reaction with olefins. - Keywords: Bis- and Tris-aluminum-alkane Compounds, Aluminum
