A catalytic
system usable for the copolymerization of at least one
conjugated diene and at least one monoolefin, a process for preparing this catalytic
system, a process for preparing a
copolymer of a
conjugated diene and at least one monoolefin using said catalytic
system, and said
copolymer are described. This catalytic system includes:(i) an organometallic complex represented by the following formula:{[P(Cp)(Fl)Ln(X)(Lx)}p (1)where Ln represents a
lanthanide atom to which is attached a
ligand molecule comprising cyclopentadienyl Cp and fluorenyl Fl groups linked to one another by a bridge P of the formula MR1R2, M is an element from column IVa of Mendeleev's
periodic table and R1 and R2 each represent
alkyl groups of 1 to 20 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl or phenyl groups of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, X represents a
halogen atom, L represents an optional complexing molecule, such as an
ether, and optionally a substantially less complexing molecule, such as
toluene, p is a natural integer greater than or equal to 1 and x is greater than or equal to 0, and(ii) a co-catalyst selected from alkylmagnesiums, alkyllithiums, alkylaluminums, Grignard reagents and mixtures of these constituents.
