Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyolefins by polymerizing olefins of the formula CH2CHR in which R=H or C1-C10 alkyl, on their own or as a mixture, if appropriate together with C4-C12 alpha , omega -diolefins, in solvents, liquid monomers or the gas phase, at temperatures between -50 DEG and 200 DEG C., using a catalyst system composed of a soluble, halogen-containing transition metal compound of the general formula (cyclopentadienyl)2 Me R Hal in which R is cyclopentadienyl or a C1-C6 alkyl radical or a halogen, in particular chlorine, Me is a transition metal, in particular zirconium, and Hal is a halogen, in particular chlorine, and a compound, containing aluminum, of the aluminoxane type having the general formulae Al2OR4(Al(R)-O)n for a linear aluminoxane and/or (Al(R)-O)n+2 for a cyclic aluminoxane, in which n is a number from 4 to 20 and R is a methyl or ethyl radical, preferably a methyl radical.
