A catalyst system for olefin polymerization contains a main catalyst and a cocatalyst. The cocatalyst contains a twelve-membered ring compound represented by formula (M). The catalyst system is suitable for preparing polypropylene products having high stereoregularity and low ash, and can regulate the melt index of the products within a wide range by adjusting the amount of hydrogenation. It is also suitable for copolymerization systems to improve the copolymerization yield. ##STR00001##
