A polyolefin of a high molecular weight is produced by using a catalyst comprising a transition metal compound represented by General Formula (1):

Transition metal compound, olefin polymerization catalyst comprising the compound, and process for production of olefin polymer

Catalysts for olefin polymerization which consist essentially of a transition metal compound, a modified clay compound and an organic aluminum compound, wherein the modified clay compound comprises a reaction product of a clay mineral and a proton acid salt of a specific amine compound, as well as a method of polymerizing olefins using such catalysts. It is possible thereby to obtain olefin polymers with high productivity and low ash content.
