Catalysts for polymerization of alpha-olefin, composed of a transition metal compound, an inorganic silicate or an ion exchangeable layer compound other than silicate, and optionally an organoaluminum compound, are described. The transition metal compound is represented by formula (I):where A1 and A2 are each independently a conjugated 5-membered ring ligand, preferably azulene groups, provided that A1 and A2 may be the same or different in a molecule, and at least one of A1 and A2 forms a 7- to 10-membered condensed ring including two adjacent carbon atoms of the conjugated 5-membered ring, which condensed ring is formed by joining two adjacent substitutent groups on the conjugated 5-membered ring; Q is a bridging group of the two conjugated 5-membered rings of A1 and A2 at optional positions of the 5-membered rings; M is a metal atom selected from elements of Group 4-6 of the Periodic Table; and X and Z are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group, and amino group, a halogenated hydrocarbon group, an oxygen-containing hydrocarbon group, a nitrogen-containing hydrocarbon group, a phosphorus-containing hydrocarbon group or a silicon-containing hydrocarbon group.
