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 M1 represents a transition metal atom of Group 4 of the Periodic Table of the Elements; Ar1 is an aryl group represented by formula (2), Ar2 is an aryl group represented by formula (3) and Ar3 is an aryl group represented by formula (4) (not all of the three aryl groups Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 are the same at the same time),
Wherein each of the X and R groups represents hydrogen or the like.
