Catalyst for producing conjugated diene polymer

摘要

A catalyst obtained by contacting (A) a compound of a transition metal of the group V of the Periodic Table represented by formula (I):RnM(O)mXp.La(I)wherein M represents a transition metal of the group V of the Periodic Table; R represents a cyclopentadienyl group, a substituted cyclopentadienyl group, an indenyl group, a substituted indenyl group, a fluorenyl group or a substituted fluorenyl group; O represents an oxygen atom; X represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group or an amido group; L represents a Lewis basic compound; n, m, and p each represent an integer selected to make a combination of (n=1, m=1, p=2), (n=1, m=0, p=3), (n=2, m=0, p=1) or (n=1, m=0, p=2); and a represents 0, 1 or 2, and (B) at least one of (B1) an ionic compound comprising a non-coordinating anion and a cation and (B2) an aluminoxane, provided that the component (B) is an ionic compound comprising a non-coordinating anion and a cation (B1) when the combination of n, m, and p of the component (A) is (n=2, m=0, p=1) or (n=1, m=0, p=2).
