Abstract

Catalysts useful in the polymerization of olefins, more particularly of ethylene and mixtures thereof with higher alpha-olefins and/or diolefins, are disclosed. The new catalysts are obtained by mixing a hydride or organometallic compound of a metal belonging to Groups I to III of the Mendelyeev Periodic System with the product obtained by contacting a titanium tetrahalide with a support comprising an anhydrous magnesium or zinc halide in an active form, under particular conditions.
