This patent describes a process for preparing a polymer which comprises contacting carbon monoxide and an olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst wherein the catalyst is obtained by reacting (1) a compound of a Group VIII metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, cobalt and nickel, (2) an anion of a non-hydrohalogenic acid having a pKa less than 6, and (3) a nitrogen bidentate ligand of the general formula wherein X and Y represent the same or different organic bridging groups, each having a bridge containing three or four atoms, wherein at least two of the atoms in the bridge are carbon atoms, and under conditions suitable to prepare a polymer.
