Abstract

Catalytic solids based on titanium trichloride complex, usable for the stereospecific polymerization of alpha-olefins, obtained by heat treatment, in the presence of a halogenated activating agent, of the liquid material resulting from bringing TiCl.sub.4, pretreated with an electron-donor compound, into contact with a composition (C) corresponding to the general formula EQU AlR.sub.p (Y) .sub.q X .sub.3-(p+q) in which PA0 R represents a hydrocarbon radical or a hydrogen atom; PA0 Y represents a group chosen from --OR', --SR' and --NR'R", in which R' and R" each represent a hydrocarbon radical or a hydrogen atom; PA0 X represents a halogen; PA0 p is an arbitrary number such that 0<p<3; and PA0 q is an arbitrary number such that 0<q<3; the sum (p+q) being such that 0<(p+q).ltoreq.3. These catalytic solids of controllable porosity permit the production of a wide range of propylene polymers, in particular the propylene and ethylene copolymers known as "block" copolymers.
