Abstract
In a solid hydrocarbon-insoluble, alpha-olefin polymerization catalyst component with superior activity, stereospecificity and morphology characteristics comprising the product formed by (A) forming a solution of a magnesium-containing species from a magnesium alkyl (or hydrocarbyl) carbonate or a magnesium carboxylate; (B) precipitating solid particles from such magnesium-containing toluene-based solvent by treatment with a transition metal halide and an organosilane; (C) reprecipitating such solid particles from a mixture containing a cyclic either; and (D) treating the reprecipitated particles with a transition metal compound and an electron donor, the morphology of such component is modified by incorporating a morphology-affecting amount of C.sub.8 -C.sub.10 aromatics within the toluene-based solvent in Step B, Step A, in Step C prior to addition of ether, or combinations thereof.
