Abstract
Synthesis of polyketones by copolymerization of alkenes with carbon monoxide is reviewed. While radical copolymerization of ethylene and CO provides a copolymer with ethylene/CO>1, metal-catalyzed copolymerization gives completely alternating copolymers with few exceptions. Applicable alkenes and their equivalents are described with proper metal catalysts, focusing on the control of polymer structures. Physical properties of the polymers are shown with a brief introduction for industrial applications.
