A process for the polymerization of 1-olefins which comprises the steps of a) preparing a prepolymer-based catalyst by contacting one or more 1-olefins with a catalyst system, and b) contacting the prepolymer-based catalyst with one or more 1-olefins, wherein the catalyst system comprises (1) a compound of 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 transition metal M; T is the oxidation state of the transition metal M and b is the valency of the atom or group X; R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl or substituted heterohydrocarbyl; and when any two or more of R1-R7 are hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl or substituted heterohydrocarbyl, said two or more can be linked to form one or more cyclic substituents; optionally (2) an activator, and also optionally (3) a compound of the formula AlR3, wherein each R is independently C1-C12 alkyl or halo.
