Catalyst components for the polymerization of olefins CH 2 =CHR, wherein R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical having 1-12 carbon atoms, comprising Mg, Ti, C1, OR groups, where R is a C1-C10 alkyl group optionally containing heteroatoms, and an ether having two or more ether groups, characterized by the fact that the Mg/Ti weight ratio is lower than 3 from 2 to 6.5 the C1/Ti weight ratio is from 1.5 to 6, the OR/Ti weight ratio is from 0.5 to 3.5 and at least 50% of the Titanium atoms are in a valence state lower than 4. The said catalyst components allow the preparation of ethylene copolymers with a low content of xylene soluble fractions. |
