(57) [Problem] To obtain an olefin polymer having a high molecular weight and a high melting point which can be extruded or injection-molded in a high yield. -To provide a novel transition metal compound which can be a catalyst component for olefin polymerization. A novel transition metal compound represented by the following general formula (Ia). Embedded image (In the general formula (Ia), R 1 and R 4 are preferably those having 1 carbon atom. 10 hydrocarbon group, R 2 and R 5 is preferably a hydrogen atom, R 3 and R 6 are preferably pentadienylene group or 1,4-pentadienylene group, R 7 and R 8 are preferably carbon atoms 1 to 20 halogenated hydrocarbon groups; m and n each represent an integer of 0 to 20; Q is preferably an alkylsilylene group, an (alkyl) (aryl) silylene group or an arylsilylene group, and X and Y are preferably It represents a chlorine atom, a methyl group, an i-butyl group, a phenyl group, a dimethylamino group or a diethylamino group, and M represents a transition metal belonging to Groups 4 to 6 of the periodic table. ) |
