Borate compound-containing composition

Abstract

A borate compound-containing composition soluble in hydrocarbon solvents. A composition containing base A, or a compound having a total carbon number of not less than 8 and represented by the formula (5): wherein R and R′ are each independently an optionally substituted C1-30 alkyl group, an optionally substituted C3-15 cycloalkyl group, or an optionally substituted C6-14 aryl group; anda borate compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently a C6-14 aryl group substituted by one or more fluorine atoms or fluoro C1-4 alkyl groups; and[A-H]+ is a base A-derived cation. A method for producing a polymer, by polymerizing at least one kind of monomer selected from the group consisting of olefins and dienes by using the composition A as a cocatalyst.
