Abstract

A titanium trihalide is ground with an organic Lewis Base compound which contains at least one phosphorus atom, and optionally at least one nitrogen atom, and a titanium tetrahalide, the Lewis Base and the titanium tetrahalide being used in amounts of 5 to 75, preferably 5 to 50%, molar and 1 to 50, preferably 5 to 30% molar respectively relative to the titanium trihalide. The materials are conveniently milled together and the milled product can be used as a component of an olefine polymerization catalyst and when such catalysts are used to polymerize propylene a high activity is achieved together with satisfactory stereospecificity.
