Abstract
This invention relates to a process for preparing polybutadiene with high 1,4-cis content (over 97%) and high conversion (over 90%) in such a manner that 1,3-butadiene is polymerized using an aging catalyst, which has high homogeneity due to its excellent solubility in non-polar solvents, resulting in producing polybutadiene having low gel content and low solution viscosity. The aging catalyst is a mixture of a neodymium compound, an organoaluminum compound and a borontrifluoride complex, which is represented by the formula I or the formula II, in the presence or absence of a small portion of conjugated diene compound: Formula I is represented by
