Abstract

A process for producing a propylene//propylene/olefin block copolymer, characterized by using as a supported metallocene catalyst a solid product obtained by conducting, in this order, the step (a) of reacting an organic transition metal compound having two crosslinked conjugated &pgr;-electron ligands with an aluminoxane in an inert solvent, the step (b) of contacting the reaction product obtained in the step (a) with a finely particulate inorganic support in the presence of an inert solvent at 85 to 150° C., and the step (c) of washing the slurry containing a solid product yielded in the step (b) with an aliphatic hydrocarbon at least twice at −50 to 50° C.; and a propylene//propylene/olefin block copolymer produced by said process.
