<p>The present invention provides a catalyst for polymerization comprising (A) a transition metal compound containing at least one linkage represented by the general formula (I): M<1>-Z-C wherein M<1> represents a metal element of Groups 3 to 6 or the lanthanide series, and Z represents an element of Group 15, in one molecule, (B) (a) a compound which can form an ionic complex by the reaction with the transition metal compound or (b) a specific oxygen-containing compound, and (C) a metal compound containing alkyl group which is optionally used; and a process for producing a styrenic polymer, particularly a styrenic polymer having a highly syndiotactic configuration, comprising using this catalyst for polymerization. In accordance with the present invention, a novel catalyst for polymerization which has a high activity and enables reduction of the content of the residual metal in the polymer, simplification of the production process, decrease in the production cost, and improvement of physical properties of the polymer and a process which efficiently produces syndiotactic polystyrene can be provided.</p> |
