Process for the preparation of polymers.

摘要

Polymers of carbon monoxide and one or more olefinically unsaturated compounds are prepared by contacting with a catalyst composition comprising a Group VIII metal and a compound of the general formula R<1>M<1>-R-M<2>R<2> wherein M<1> and M<2> are chosen from sulphur, selenium and tellurium, R<1> and R<2> represent optionally polar-substituted hydrocarbyl groups and R represents a bivalent bridging group containing at least two carbon atoms in the bridge.
