Abstract
An improved process for the production of linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon comprises the contacting of the monomeric reactants under polymerization conditions in the presence of a reaction diluent and a catalyst composition formed from a palladium compound, the anion of a non-hydrohalogenic strong acid and a mixture of tetraaryl diphosphine ligands; one of which diphosphines has an ortho alkoxy substituent on each aryl moiety and one of which is free from alkoxy substitution in ortho positions. The process is characterized by a relatively high degree of catalyst activity and a low degree of reactor fouling.
