The phase state of the catalytic system of Ni(naph)~2-Al(i-Bu)~3- (BF~3·OEt~2+n-C~8H~1~7OH) was studied. By means of Tyndall effect, electron microscope and ultrafiltration, we found that the catalyst dispersed in butadiene-hydrogasoline solution existed as colloidal particle and the particle sizes was from 1nm to 100nm. The catalyst belonged to highly dispersed polyphase catalytic system. The active center lay on the surface of the colloidal particles. The particles were amorphous. The ratio of components affected the shape of the particles. Under the better ratio we got smaller particles which were dispersed more uniformly and had higher catalytic activity.
