Patent ID: 7189790

Claim:
A catalyst component for olefin polymerization, comprising a transition metal compound represented by formula (I): wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 4 and R 5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 6, a silicon-containing hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 7 or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 6; R 3 and R 6 each represent a hydrocarbon group which is connected to the cyclopentadienyl ring to form any one of a 5- to 10-membered condensed ring; R 7 , R 9 , R 10 and R 12 each independently represent a hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 4, a halogenated hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 3, or halogen atom; R 8 and R 11 each independently represent a hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 3 to 10 and the hydrocarbon group may contain a silicon atom, wherein a phenyl group and a substituted phenyl group are excluded from the hydrocarbon atom; R 13 and R 14 each independently represent a hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 20 or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 20, and R 13 and R 14 substitute a hydrogen atom in the hydrocarbon group represented by R 3 and R 6 , respectively; j and k each represent an integer of 0 to 8; Q represents a bridging group connecting two cyclopentadienyl rings; X and Y each represent an auxiliary ligand which is σ-covalently bound, the auxiliary ligand being-capable of reacting with a cocatalyst to develop an olefin-polymerizing capability; and M represents a transition metal belonging to the group IV in the periodic table.
