Abstract
Synthesis gas is converted to valuable hydrocarbon or alcohol products over catalysts comprising metal cyanide complexes which have been activated by treatment with a reducing gas. The metal cyanide catalysts of this invention, when compared to prior art catalysts, demonstrate increased water gas shift activity such that more oxygen is rejected from the process as CO.sub.2 rather than H.sub.2 O, thus improving the economics of the synthesis gas conversion process.
