Abstract

The present invention provides process for producing polyols using a crystalline, hydroxide containing double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst of the formulae (I) or (II),M1x[M2(CN)6]yOH.L  (I)M1x[M2(CN)6]y.zM1(OH)q.L  (II)wherein M1 represents a metal selected from Zn+2, Fe+2, Ni+2, Mn+2, Co+2, Sn+2, Pb+2, Fe+3, Mo+4, Mo+6, Al+3, V+4, V+5, Sr+2, W+4, W+6, Cu+2 and Cr+3, M2 represents a metal selected from Fe+2, Fe+3, Co+2, Co+3, Cr+2, Cr+3, Mn+2, Mn+3, Ir+3, Ni+2, Rh+3, Ru+2, V+4 and V+5, L represents an organic ligand and x, y and q are chosen to maintain electroneutrality. The polyols of the present invention may find use in the preparation of polyurethanes.
