Abstract

Ionic compounds represented by general formula (I), method of their production, olefin polymerization catalyst components, and olefin polymerization catalysts containing the components are provided. EQU M(R.sup.1).sub.k (R.sup.2).sub.1 (R.sup.3).sub.m (R.sup.4 -L).sub.n !.sup.- D!.sup.+ (I) (wherein, M is an element belonging to the Group 13; R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are pentafluorophenyl, etc., R.sup.4 is a substituted phenylene group, etc., k, l and m being each 0 or an integer of 1 to 3, and n being an integer of 1 to 4 such that k+l+m+n=4; L is trichlorosilyl, methyldichlorosilyl, dimethylchlorosilyl group, etc.; and D is a monovalent cation). The catalyst of this invention, which is used in combination with the ionic compound of this invention, a carrier, an organometal compound and a Group 4, 5 or 6 transition metal compound, has high activity so that polymerization of olefins by a slurry process, a gas phase process or the like using the catalyst gives rise to a polymer having good powder characteristics and attachment of the polymer to the reactor is minimized.
