A process for the polymerization of ethylene or a mixture comprising ethylene and one or more alpha-olefins and, optionally, a diene, comprising passing, under polymerization conditions, the aforementioned monomer(s) into contact with a catalyst system comprising: (a) the reaction product of (i) a titanium based catalyst precursor having the formula MgaTi(OR)bXC (ED)d wherein ED is an electron donor R is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms or COR' wherein R' is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms; each OR group is the same or different; each X is independently chlorine, bromine, or iodine; a is 0.5 to 56; b is 0, 1, or 2; c is 2 to 116; and d is 2 to 85; and (ii) at least one activator having the formula Al(R')eX'fHg wherein X' is Cl or OR" R' and R" are the same or different and are saturated hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 14 carbon atoms f = 0 to 1.5 g = 0 or 1 e+f+g = 3; and (iii) an alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, or aryloxy phosphine oxide, or mixtures thereof, in an amount sufficient to replace about 1 to about 80 mole percent of the electron donor in the precursor, and in a molar ratio of phosphine oxide to titanium of 0.1:1 to 8:1 wherein component (a) is impregnated into an inorganic support; and (b) a hydrocarbyl aluminum cocatalyst.
