Disclosed are catalyst components for the polymerization of olefins which include magnesium halide in active form, and, supported thereon, a titanium halide or titanium halogen alcoholate and an electron-donor compound selected from the group diamines of formula ##STR1## wherein the radicals R.sub.1 to R.sub.10 are the same or different and are hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 hydrocarbon radicals, with the proviso that at least one of the R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 radicals and at least one of the R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 radicals are not hydrogen. Also, disclosed are catalysts obtained from the catalyst components and an Al-alkyl compound, as well as catalysts obtained by reaction of an Al-alkyl compound and a diamine of formula (I) with a solid catalyst component including a titanium halide or a titanium halogen alcoholate, and an electron-donor compound having particular characteristics of extractability with Al-triethyl, supported on magnesium halide in active form.

Components and catalyst for the polymerization of olefins

Disclosed is a catalyst for the polymerization of olefins, which includes the product of the reaction between an Al-alkyl compound and a solid catalyst component containing a magnesium halide in active form, a titanium compound and an electron-donor selected from the 1,3-diketones of formula: ##STR1## wherein the radicals R are the same or different, the radicals R.sup.I are the same or different, and R and R.sup.I are C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.20 cycloalkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 aryl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.20 arylalkyl or alkylaryl radicals or hydrogen, with the proviso that at least one of the R radicals is not hydrogen and can be bonded with the other R radical to form a cyclic structure, and at least one of the R.sup.I radicals, which are not bonded to one another to form a cyclic structure, is a branched alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl radical, or is bonded to one or both R radicals to form a cyclic structure.

Components and catalysts for the polymerization of olefins

Disclosed are solid catalyst components for the polymerization of olefins comprising a titanium halide or titanium alkoxy halide, and an electron-donor compound selected from silicon compounds of the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are hydrocarbyl radicals, supported on a magnesium halide in active form. Also disclosed are catalysts obtained from said catalyst components and from an Al-alkyl compound, as well as catalysts obtained by the reaction of an Al-alkyl compound and a silicon compound of the formula above with a solid catalyst component comprising a titanium halide or halogen alcoholate and an electron-donor compound having specific characteristics of extractability with Al-triethyl, supported on an active magnesium halide.
