Polymerization process

U.S. Patent Number: 5340787

Abstract: An improved process for the production of linear alternating polymers of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon comprises contacting the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon under polymerization conditions in the presence of a liquid reaction diluent and a supported catalyst composition formed from a compound of palladium, the anion of a strong non-hydrohalogenic acid and a bidentate ligand chemically bound to support particles having an average particle diameter of at least 500 .mu..
