A silicon-bridged Cp-Ar transition metal complex is provided that serves as a catalytic component capable of efficiently and highly selectively producing 1-hexene through the trimerization reaction of ethylene. The transition metal complex is represented by formula (1):
wherein M
1
represents a transition metal atom of Group 4 of the Periodic Table of the Elements; Ar
1
is an aryl group represented by formula (2), Ar
2
is an aryl group represented by formula (3) and Ar
3
is an aryl group represented by formula (4) (not all of the three aryl groups Ar
1
, Ar
2
and Ar
3
are the same at the same time),
Wherein each of the X and R groups represents hydrogen or the like.
