A catalyst configured to be handled more easily than conventional catalysts and configured to copolymerize an &#x3b1;-olefin and a (meth)acrylic acid ester with high activity. The objects are achieved by polymerization using an olefin polymerization catalyst which contains a metal complex obtained by reacting a ligand having a specific structure and a transition metal compound containing a transition metal selected from nickel or palladium having a specific structure.

Method for producing &#x3b1;-olefin/(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymer

Provided is a process of effectively producing an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer having excellent mechanical and thermal properties. A process for producing an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer comprises: producing an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymer from ethylene and unsaturated carboxylic acid ester using a late-transition-metal complex catalyst; and heating the ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymer at a temperature capable of converting the ester group into a carboxylic acid group, thereby converting into the ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer.

Process for producing ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer, and said copolymer

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel catalyst for olefin (co)polymer production, which has high activity without using a large amount of a cocatalyst and is aimed for obtaining a particulate olefin (co)polymer.
