This invention provides new supported catalyst compositions for the polymerization of 1-olefins, together with processes for preparing and using the catalysts. The catalyst compositions include two catalyst components. The first catalyst component is formed by reacting a halogen-containing compound of the formula: HaM1X1bR1(c-b-a) wherein M1 is boron, carbon, silicon or mixtures thereof; X1 is Cl, Br or mixtures thereof; R1 is a hydrocarbyl or alkoxy radical; with a mixture produced by contacting a finely divided porous inorganic oxide support in an inert solvent with a solution made by combining a magnesium dihydrocarbyloxide dissolved in an inert solvent, and of the formula: Mg(OR2)2 wherein R2 is a hydrocarbyl radical, with a transition metal hydrocarbyloxide of the formula: M2(OR3)y wherein M2 is a transition metal from Group IVB, VB, and VIB of the Periodic Table; and R3 is a hydrocarbyl radical. The second catalyst component of the new catalyst compositions is an organometal compound of the formula: M3R4e-fXf wherein M3 is aluminum, magnesium, zinc or mixtures thereof; R4 is a saturated hydrocarbyl radical; X is hydrogen, halogen or an alkoxy. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the solution made by combining the magnesium dihydrocarbyloxide, dissolved in an inert solvent, with the transition metal hydrocarbyloxide, is reacted with a carboxylic acid derivative, of the formula R5COZ, wherein R5 is a hydrocarbyl radical and Z is a halogen atom or an alkoxy radical. An important characteristic of this invention is that the new catalyst compositions give significantly higher hydrogen and comonomer responses and greater productivity with larger average particle size and higher bulk density than with at least certain state of the art catalysts.
