Abstract

The present invention relates to a heteroatom ligand, an oligomerization catalyst containing the same, and a method for preparing an oligomer by using the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a heteroatom ligand having a silsesquioxane derivative, an oligomerization catalyst containing the same, and a method for preparing an oligomer by using the same.
