Abstract

A process for polymerizing olefins is disclosed which makes use of a catalyst comprising a cyclopentadienyl lanthanide halide alkali metal ether complex in combination with a cocatalyst comprising an alkali or alkaline earth metal alkyl. Preferred embodiments include the use of hydrogen during the polymerization or the use of an organoaluminum hydride as an additional cocatalyst.
