Claims
- 1. In a gas phase process for catalytically polymerizing carbon monoxide and at least one olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon to form a polyketone, wherein the improvement comprises conducting the polymerization in the presence of a catalyst support which is substantially saturated with an amount of a liquid, non-polymerizable diluent which is effective in increasing the amount of polyketone formed.
- 2. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polymerization is conducted using a catalyst placed on a high surface area polyketone support.
- 3. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the diluent is acetone.
- 4. A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the diluent is acetone.
- 5. A product formed by the process of claim 1.
