CATALYST COMPONENT FOR VINYL COMPOUND POLYMERIZATION, VINYL COMPOUND POLYMERIZATION CATALYST, PRODUCTION METHOD FOR VINYL COMPOUND POLYMER, AND USING METHOD FOR TRANSITION METAL COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst component which can easily produce a copolymer of a vinyl compound having a bulky substituent or can easily produce a homopolymer; a polymerization catalyst using the same; a method for easily producing a polymer; and a method for using a transition metal compound. SOLUTION: The catalyst component is used for the addition polymerization of a vinyl compound (I) represented by the formula: CH2 =CH-R (of which the steric parameter Es of R is -1.64 or lower; and the steric parameter B1 of R is 1.53 or higher) or a vinyl compound (II) represented by the formula: CH2 =CH-R' (wherein R' is a secondary or tertiary alkyl) and comprises a transition metal compound represented by formula [1].
