Abstract

Disclosed herein is a group IV transition metal catalyst for producing an ethylene homopolymer or an ethylene-olefin copolymers, having high catalytic activity, which includes a cyclopentadiene derivative and one or more anionic ligands having an aryl group substituted with an aryl derivative at an ortho-position thereof around a transition metal, the ligands not being crosslinked to each other, a catalyst system including the group IV transition metal catalyst and an aluminoxane cocatalyst or a boron compound cocatalyst, and a method of producing ethylene homopolymers or ethylene-olefin copolymers using the catalyst system.
