Abstract

Bis(di-, tri- or tetra-substituted-cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dihalides represented by the following general formula [I] are provided, ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 denotes a substituent group on the cyclopentadienyl ring which is an alkyl radical of 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R.sub.2.sup.1 --C.sub.5 H.sub.3 stands for a di-substituted cyclopentadienyl radical; and X is a halogen atom). This compound, when combined with an aluminoxane repesented by the following general formula [VII], gives a high-activity catalyst for the synthesis of polyolefins, ##STR2## (wherein m is an integer of 4 to 20; and R.sup.2 denotes a hydrocarbyl radical).
