A catalyst component for use in the polymerization of alpha -olefins, comprising a compound represented by the following general formula [I]: <IMAGE> [I] wherein R1s represent a hydrogen atom, a C1-6 hydrocarbon group or a C1-12 hydrocarbon group containing silicon; each of R2 and R3 independently represents a divalent group selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms and a silicon-containing hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms and 1 to 6 silicon atoms, provided that at least one of R2 and R3 is said silicon-containing hydrocarbon group; Q represents a C1-20 divalent hydrocarbon group, a silylene group, a silylene group with a C1-20 hydrocarbon group, a germylene group, or a germylene group with a C1-20 hydrocarbon group; X and Y represent H, a halogen, a C1-20 hydrocarbon group, or a C1-20 hydrocarbon group containing oxygen, nitrogen or phosphorus; and M represents a Group IVB to VIB transition metal of the Periodic Table. Production of alpha -olefin polymers having a high melting point and a high molecular weight in a high yield and a process for producing alpha -olefin polymers is made possible upon the use of the catalyst.
