    Abstract: Preparation of a supported catalyst by production of a copolymer with leaving group-containing comonomer units, polymer like reaction of the copolymer with an optionally substituted cyclopentadiene compound, and reaction of the copolymer with a mono-Cp-metallocene compound is new. A supported catalyst is prepared by: (1) Production of copolymer containing at least the monomer units of formula (I) and (II): A = a direct chemical bond or a group (A); X = H, optionally substituted aryl, optionally branched alkyl, or alkenyl; n = 1-8. (2) The polymer like reaction of the copolymer with a cyclopentadiene compound (III) to give a corresponding copolymer in which some of the exit groups X are substituted by a residue (III'). R -R = H, 1-10C alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, or the residue group QR R X ; Q = C, CR R C, Ge, or Si, R , R each = H, Me, Et, or Ph, X = halogen, methoxy or ethoxy; and (3) the reaction of the copolymer modified under (2) with a metallocene compound (IV): Cp = optionally substituted cyclopentadienyl, Ti, Zr, or Hf; X = halogen, H, 1-10C alkyl, 1-10C alkoxy or amido, where the various X substituents have different meanings. Independent Claims are included for: (A) A supported metallocene catalyst; (B) a copolymer obtainable as in (1) and (2) above as a support material for metallocene catalysts; (C) a process for the polymerization of ethylene or propylene, or copolymerization of ethylene or propylene with 3-8C alpha-olefins in the presence of a supported metallocene catalyst.
