<p>The present invention relates to a process for the polymerisation and copolymerisation of 1-olefins and to a catalyst to be used in said process wherein the catalyst comprises (1) a complex having formula (I) wherein M is Fe[II], Fe[III], Co[I], Co[II], Co[III], Mn[I], Mn[II], Mn[III], Mn[IV], Ru[II], Ru[III] or Ru[IV]; X represents an atom or group covalently or ionically bonded to the metal M; T is the oxidation state of the metal; b is the valency of the atom or group X; and R1 to R7 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl, substituted heterohydrocarbyl or SiR'¿3? where each R' is independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl, substituted heterohydrocarbyl; and when any two or more of R?1 to R7¿ are hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl or substituted heterohydrocarbyl, said two or more can be linked to form one or more cyclic substituents; (2) an activator which is an alkylalumoxane; and (3) a support material, wherein the atomic ratio of aluminium in the alkylalumoxane (2) to transition metal M in (1) is from 6:1 to 25:1.</p> |
