Catalyst compositions and processes for the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers to produce polymers, including copolymers or homopolymers. Such monomers include ethylene, C3+ alpha olefins and substituted vinyl compounds, such as styrene and vinyl chloride. The polymerization catalyst characterized by the formula B(FluL)MQn in which Flu is a fluorenyl group substituted at at least the 2,7- and 3,6-positions by hydrocarbyl groups, preferably relatively bulky hydrocarbyl groups. L is a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl, indenyl or fluorenyl group or a heteroorgano group, XR, in which X is a heteroatom from Group 15 or 16 of the Periodic Table of Elements, such as nitrogen, R is an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or an aryl group and B is a structural bridge extending between the groups L and Flu, which imparts stereorigidity to the ligand structure, M is a Group 4 or Group 5 transition metal, such as titanium, zirconium or hafnium and Q is selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, iodine, an alkyl group, an amino group, an aromatic group and mixtures thereof, with n being 1 or 2.
