Abstract

Disclosed are a transition metal complex having a high catalytic activity for the preparation of an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin and a catalyst composition comprising the same. More specifically, there are provided a transition metal complex having, around a group IV transition metal, a cyclopentadiene derivative and at least one aryl oxide ligand with a heterocyclic aryl derivative substituted at the ortho-position thereof, with no crosslinkage between the ligands, a catalyst composition comprising the transition metal complex and an organoaluminum compound or boron compound as cocatalyst, and a method for the preparation of high molecular weight ethylene homopolymers or copolymers of ethylene and α-olefin using the same.
