Abstract

A polymerization catalyst useful for the polymerization of olefins is prepared by contacting a metal dihalide compound having a metal selected from Group 2 and Group 12 of the Periodic Table and a transition metal compound which is a hydrocarbyloxide of a transition metal selected from Group 4 and Group 5 to thereby form a first catalyst component; contacting the first catalyst component with at least one organoaluminum precipitating agent to form a solid product; and contacting the solid product with an ester and then an activating agent to form a catalyst. Other aspects of the invention include a catalyst produced by the above described process and a polymerization process employing the thus produced catalyst.
