Disclosed is a catalytic component for trimerization containing a transition metal complex with which 1-hexene can be produced efficiently with excellent selectivity, even under high temperature conditions, by means of an ethylene trimerization reaction. Also disclosed is a trimerization catalyst that is obtained by bringing an olefin copolymerization catalyst and an activating co-catalytic component into contact with one another. Said transition metal complex is represented by the following general formula (1), wherein M 1 represents a Group 4 transition metal atom, and R 1 through R 11 and X 1 through X 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a specific organic group. |
