Abstract

A process for polymerizing 1,3-butadiene, comprising bring into contact a 1,2-polymerization catalyst consisting essentially of a soluble cobalt compound, an organic aluminum halide, an organic lithium compound, and carbon disulfide or phenyl isothiocyanate with 1,3-butadiene in a polymerization medium. The process can be applied particularly advantageously in the preparation of 1,2-polybutadiene, and the resultant 1,2-polybutadiene has a content of syndiotactic 1,2-structural units of not less than 90%, a melting point of 200.degree. C. to 220.degree. C., and an intrinsic viscosity [.eta.] of 1.2 to 7.
