This invention relates to novel catalysts and to the use of these catalysts in a process for the polymerization of alpha-olefins. The catalysts comprise a transition metal compound and an organo metallic aluminum activator of the following structure: ##STR1## Preferred catalysts comprise titanium compounds and 1-phenyl-2-(dialkyl alumino)-1-heptene.

Catalysts useful for the polymerization of alpha-olefins

This invention relates to a supported catalyst and to the use of this catalyst in a process for the polymerization of alpha-olefins. The catalyst comprises a transition metal complex supported on an interpolymer comprising an alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, anhydride or lower alkyl ester thereof, and one or more monomers copolymerizable therewith which has been treated with a Group IIA halide or alkyl halide. Preferred supports comprise maleic anhydride copolymers which have been treated with a magnesium compound.

Supported catalysts useful for the polymerization of alpha-olefins

This invention relates to a new supported catalyst and to the use of this catalyst in a process for the polymerization of alpha-olefins. The catalyst comprises a transition metal complex supported on a planar organosilicon polymer which has been derived from at least one of chrysotile and apophyllite. The support is prepared by the leaching of the metal ions from the mineral and substitution of some of the silanol groups with alkyl silyl groups. Particularly active catalysts can be prepared by treating the planar organosilicon polymer with silicon tetrachloride prior to contacting the polymer with a transition metal complex.

Supported catalysts for the polymerization of alpha-olefins

A process for polymerizing alpha-olefins in the presence of a Ziegler-type catalyst wherein at least one of dichloroethane, dichloropropane and chlorine gas is added to the process after the polymerization has been initiated. This invention is especially useful when the olefin is propylene and the catalyst is a titanium trichloride complex.
