The present invention provides a crystalline, hydroxide containing double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst of the formulae (I) or (II), M1x[M2(CN)6]y OH .cndot. L ~~(I) M1x[M2(CN)6]y~zM1(OH)q.cndot. L (II) wherein M1 represents a metal selected from Zn+2, Fe+2, Ni+2, Mn+2, Co+2, Sn+2, Pb+2, Fe+3, Mo+4, Mo+6, Al+3, V+4, V+5, Sr+2, W+4, W+6, Cu+2 and Cr+ 3, M2represents a metal selected from Fe+2, Fe+3, Co+2, Co+3, Cr+2, Cr+3, Mn+2, Mn+3, Ir+3, Ni+2, Rh+3, Ru+2, V+4 and V+5, L represents an organi c ligand and x, y and q are chosen to maintain electroneutrality. Further provided are processes for the production of the inventive DMC catalysts. The crystalline, hydroxide containing DMC catalysts of the present invention may find use in in the preparation of polyols, such as polyether polyols. |
