Catalyst compositions which are particularly useful for the preparation of ethylene polymers having a narrow molecular weight distribution are obtained by (1) drying an inorganic oxide having surface hydroxyl groups, e.g., silica, alumina, magnesia, etc., to remove adsorbed water (2) reacting the surface hydroxyl groups with at least a stoichiometric amount of an organometallic compound having at least one alkyl group attached to a Group III metal, e.g., a trialkylaluminum, (3) reacting the thus-treated inorganic oxide with a vanadium halide, such as (a) VOCl3, VOBr3, and/or mono-, di-, and/or trihydrocarbyloxy derivatives thereof and/or (b) VCl4, VBr4, and/or mono-, di-, tri-, and/or tetrahydrocarbyloxy derivatives thereof, and (4) reacting that reaction product with at least about 0.1 mol, per mol of organometallic compound, of an ether-alcohol corresponding to the formula R''[OCHR'(CH2)nCHR]mOH, wherein R and R' are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R'' is a hydrocarbyl group, n has a value of 0 to 16, and m has a value of at least 1. |
