Abstract

A catalytic composition for oligomerizing ethylene, in particular to 1-hexene, is obtained by mixing at least one chromium carboxylate characterized in that it also contains a free carboxylic acid in a set proportion, with at least one aryloxy compound of an element M selected from the group formed by magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium, with general formula M(RO)2-nXn in which RO is an aryloxy radical containing 6 to 80 carbon atoms, X is a halogen atom or a hydrocarbyl radical containing 1 to 30 carbon atoms and n is a whole number that can take the values 0 or 1, and with at least one hydrocarbylaluminum compound selected from the group formed by tris(hydrocarbyl)-aluminum compounds, chlorinated or brominated hydrocarbylaluminum compounds and aluminoxanes.
