It has been discovered that the meso form of metallocenes can be catalytically isomerized to the racemic form of the metallocene. This is accomplished by heating an isomerization mixture formed from (i) a meso form of a bridged metallocene or a mixture of meso and racemic forms of a bridged metallocene, (ii) a Group 1 and/or 2 metal halide isomerization catalyst, and (iii) a liquid organic isomerization medium, such that at least a portion of the meso form of the metallocene is isomerized to the racemic form.
