Abstract

Isotactic index improvement is achieved for C.sub.3 and higher alpha olefins in systems containing a catalyst component comprising titanium supported on a magnesium halide support. The titanium component is formed by copulverizing the magnesium halide with one or more electron donors followed by treatment with liquid titanium halide. The improvement is achieved by using a dialkylaluminoxane component with the trialkylaluminum co-catalyst normally used. In slurry polymerizations, the isotactic index of the polymer has been improved.
