Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for preparing polyalpha-olefins using a catalyst composition comprising a reaction product of an organometallic complex and a co-catalyst, wherein the comprising an organometallic complex is represented by the general formula: LMXn wherein: (i) 'L' is an organic ligand; (ii) 'M' is a transition metal having a valency of 'p', wherein the metal 'M' is selected from Ti, Zr, and Hf; (iii) 'X' is an anionic ligand to the metal 'M', and wherein 'X' is selected from the group consisting of halogens, alkyls, aralkyls, alkoxides, amides, and combinations thereof; (iv) 'n' is the number of 'X' groups and equals p-2.
