Syndiospecific catalysts and processes for the syndiotactic propagation of a polymer chain derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer which contains 3 or more carbon atoms or is a substituted vinyl compound. The catalysts comprise an unbalanced metallocene cation, characterized by a cationic metallocene ligand having sterically dissimilar ring structures joined to a positively charged coordinating transition metal atom, and a stable noncoordinating counter anion for the metallocene cation. One of said ring structures is a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring and the other of the ring structures is a substituted cyclopentadienyl group which is sterically different from the first cyclopentadienyl group. A structural bridge between cyclopentadienyl groups imparts stereorigidity to the catalyst. The catalyst is contacted with a C3+ alpha olefin or other ethylenically unsaturated compound in a polymerization reaction zone and maintained in contact with the catalyst in the reaction zone under polymerizatio conditions to produce a syndiotactic polymer.
