摘要

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF CO-POLYMERS OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS A process for the preparation of co-polymers by reacting carbon monoxide and one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds under polymerizable conditions in the substantial absence of a liquid non-polymerizable diluent and in the presence of a catalyst system based on (a) a source of cations of one or more noble metals of Group VIII of the Periodic Table; (b) a source of anions of acids having a pKa of less than 4; (c) a source of cations of one of more metals selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, manganese, lead, zinc, magnesium, iron (II), copper (II), lanthanum and neodymium and (d) a source of bidentate ligands.
