Olefin polymerization catalyst, olefin polymerization catalyst production method, and olefin polymer production method using the olefin polymerization catalyst

An olefin polymerization catalyst production method,

• wherein an olefin polymerization catalyst is produced by mixing the following components [A], [B] and [C]:
• the component [A]:
• a metallocene complex represented by the following general formula (1),
• the component [B]:
• a solid component containing one or more selected from the group consisting of the following (b-1) to (b-3):
• (b-1) a fine particulate carrier on which an ionic compound or Lewis acid which can convert the component [A] into a cation by reaction with the component [A], is supported,
• (b-2) solid acid fine particles, and
• (b-3) an ion-exchange layered compound,
• and
• the component [C]:
• an alkyne compound represented by the following general formula (2):
• where M is Ti, Zr or Hf;
• each of X1 and X2 is independently a halogen atom, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and being substituted with a halogen atom, a substituted amino group substituted with an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an aryl group containing 6 to 18 carbon atoms and optionally being substituted;
• Q is an alkylene group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms and optionally being substituted with an aryl group containing 6 to 18 carbon atoms, a silylene group optionally being substituted with a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a substituted germylene, phosphorus, amino, boron or alumylene group being substituted with a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms;
• and
• each of R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R21, R22, R23, R24, R25 and R26 is independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and being substituted with a halogen atom, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and being substituted with a trialkylsilyl group, a substituted silyl group being substituted with a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an aryl group containing 6 to 18 carbon atoms and optionally being substituted, a furyl group optionally being substituted, or a thienyl group optionally being substituted, and R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R21, R22, R23, R24, R25 and R26 optionally form a 5- to 7-membered ring with adjacent substituents, the ring optionally including an unsaturated bond,
• where each of R31, R32 and R33 is independently a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted silyl group being substituted with a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted germyl group being substituted with a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 30 carbon atoms and being substituted with the substituted silyl group, or a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 30 carbon atoms and being substituted with the substituted germyl group.
