Abstract
A process for producing a norbornene polymer consisting essentially of a repeating unit of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.12 are the same or different and are hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 hydrocarbon, or a group having a halogen, oxygen or nitrogen, R.sup.5 and R.sup.7 may combine to form a ring, and n is an integer of 0 or more; and having a weight average molecular weight as determined by GPC of 1.times.10.sup.5 to 1.times.10.sup.7. The process comprises polymerizing a norbornene monomer of the formula (II) ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.12 are the same or different and are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 hydrocarbon, or a substituent containing a halogen atom, an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom; R.sup.5 and R.sup.7 may combine together to form a ring; and n is an integer of 0 or more, in the presence of a catalyst containing a transition metal compound component containing a transition metal belonging to Group VB, VIB, VIIB or VIII of the Periodic Table, and an aluminoxane components.
