There are provided (1) a process for producing a contact product, which
comprises the step of contacting at least a phthalocyanine complex, a
porphyrin complex, or their combination with a surfactant; (2) a catalyst
component for addition polymerization, which comprises said contact
product; (3) a process for producing a catalyst for addition
polymerization, which comprises the step of contacting said catalyst
component, a compound of a metal atom of Groups 3 to 12 or the lanthanide
series, and an optional organoaluminum compound with one another; and (4)
a process for producing an addition polymer, which comprises the step of
polymerizing an addition polymerizable monomer in the presence of said
catalyst.
