(57) Abstract: A novel α-olefin polymerization catalyst and a method for producing an α-olefin polymer using the catalyst are provided. An α-olefin polymerization catalyst comprising the following essential components (A) and (B) and an optional component (C). (A) a transition metal compound represented by the following general formula (I) (In the general formula (I), A 1 and A 2 each represent a conjugated five-membered ring ligand, at least one of which is bonded to an adjacent substituent on the conjugated five-membered ring ligand to form a five-membered ring. 7 ~ including 2 atoms Q has a 10-membered condensed ring, Q is a bonding group that bridges two conjugated 5-membered ring ligands at any position, and M is a periodic table X represents a transition metal atom selected from Group 6, and X and Y each independently preferably represent a hydrogen atom. (B) Ion-exchangeable layered compound or inorganic silicate (C) organic except silicate Aluminum compounds. |
