β¦ Synopsis
Brubaker and his coworkers have reported the free radical-initiated copolymerization of ethylene and carbon monoxide at superatomospheric pressures (1). Reppe and Magin (2) have found the polyketone formation from ethylene and carbon monoxide in the reaction catalyzed by a large amount of nickel cyan0 complex. Now the authors wish to describe the alternating oligomerization of ethylene and carbon monoxide catalyzed by rhodium carbonyl. From the rhodium catalyzed reaction of ethylene with carbon monoxide in acetic acid, water, alcohols or in

The alternating copolymer of ethylene and carbon monoxide (POK) has properties that suggest possible utility for fibers. However, in order to be melt spinnable, the copolymer should be stable somewhat above its melt temperature for some minutes. Research to improve the stability of POK was carried o
