THE CATALYST ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION IS OBTAINED BY PLACING IN CONTACT WITH: A. AT LEAST ONE COMPLEX OF FORMULA ML IN WHICH M IS A METAL CHOSEN FROM IRON, RUTHENIUM, NICKEL, RHODIUM AND MOLYBDENE, N IS THE NUMBER OF LIGANDS AROUND THE METAL M AND L IS AN IONIC OR COVALENT LIGAND; B. AT LEAST ONE ACTIVATOR OF FORMULA MR IN WHICH M IS A METAL CHOSEN FROM ALUMINUM, LITHIUM, SODIUM, MAGNESIUM AND ZINC, M IS THE VALENCY OF METAL M AND R IS CHOSEN FROM HYDROGEN ATOM AND HYDROCARBON RADICALS, THE MOLAR RATIO BA BEING BETWEEN 0.3 AND 20; AND C. AT LEAST ONE COMPOUND CHOSEN FROM CONJUGATED DIENES, PHOSPHINES, AMINES, ARSINES AND PHOSPHITES, THE MOLAR RATIO CA BEING BETWEEN 1 AND 20. ITS PREPARATION IS CARRIED OUT BY CONTACT OF COMPONENTS A, B AND C IN AT LEAST ONE ESSENTIALLY ANHYDROUS AROMATIC SOLVENT AND AT LEAST PARTLY IN AN INERT GAS ATMOSPHERE. THE CATALYST IS APPLICABLE TO THE MANUFACTURING OF HYDROCARBONS AND ALIPHATIC OXYGEN COMPOUNDS BY REACTION BETWEEN CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN IN A COH2 MOLAR RATIO BETWEEN 0.2 AND 2, AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN 5 AND 400BARS, AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN 5 AND 400BARS TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 160C AND 300C, THE RESIDENCE TIME OF THE REACTIONAL MIXTURE IS BETWEEN 0.1 AND 150SECONDS. |
