Abstract
A novel transition metal compound represented by the formula ##STR1## (wherein each of A.sup.1, A.sup.2, A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 is a cyclopentadienyl group, an indenyl group, a fluorenyl group or their derivative; A.sup.5 is a hydrocarbondiylidene group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms; a pair of A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 as well as a pair of A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 is respectively bonded to the identical carbon atom in A.sup.5 to form a crosslinking structure; each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is a halogen atom, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or a silicon-containing alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group, an alkylaryl group, an arylalkyl group or a halogenated aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be identical or different; each of M.sup.1 and M.sup.2 is titanium, zirconium or hafnium; and M.sup.1 and M.sup.2 may be mutually identical or different), and a method for polymerizing an olefin in the presence of this compound and a co-catalyst. The employment of the combination of the above-mentioned compound and another known transition metal compound as the transition metal compounds permits preparing a polyolefin having a wide molecular weight distribution.
