1-hexene may be considered a tetramerization system.

(27) The incorporation of 1-hexene and 1-octene into further tri-
/tetramerization cycles to form branched C10-14 products is well doc-
umented. However, this incorporation is highly dependent upon the
standing concentration of 1-hexene and 1-octene present in the reac-
tion, and is hence strongly influenced by the product to solvent (P:S)
ratio to which catalysis is operated. The catalysis herein, and that to
which it is compared, was all operated to a P:S ratio in the region of
1:1.
