TRANSITION METAL COMPLEX

摘要

Disclosed is transition metal complex that serves as a catalytic component with which 1-hexene can be produced efficiently with excellent selectivity, even under high temperature conditions, by means of an ethylene trimerization reaction. Said transition metal complex is represented by the following general formula (1), wherein M1 represents a Group 4 transition metal atom, and R1 through R11 and X1 through X3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a specific organic group.;
