A process of preparing a polystyrene supported cycloalkadienyl metal complex of the formula: PS --RMe(CO).sub.n H.sub.m where: PS represents a macroporous divinylbenzene crosslinked polystyrene in which the divinylbenzene crosslinking is greater than 1% and in which the pore size is in the range of about 100 through 900 A°. R represents a cycloalkadienyl radical of 4 through 6 carbon atoms; Me represents a Group VIII metal; CO represents a carbonyl radical; H represents hydrogen; n represents an integer varying from 0 to 3, and m is an integer varying from 0 to 2 inclusively with the further provision that 2n+m must total 18 when added to the electrons in R and Me, or n+m must total 0, which process comprises: brominating PS --H by treating same with bromine in the presence of a thallium salt in a partially or fully halogenated hydrocarbon solvent to form PS --Br; treating said PS --Br so produced with an alkyl lithium of about 1 through 12 carbon atoms in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent of 6 through 8 carbon atoms to produce PS --Li; substituting said PS --Li so produced by reaction with a 2-cycloalkenone of 4 to 6 carbon atoms in the presence of an ether solvent and using a water work-up to form a cycloalkenylalcohol-substituted PS ; dehydrating said alcohol so produced by heating under a vacuum to produce a cycloalkadienyl-substituted PS ; reacting said cycloalkadienyl-substituted PS with metal carbonyl in the presence of a partially or fully halogenated hydrocarbon, an aromatic hydrocarbon of 6 through 8 carbon atoms, ethers and esters of 4 through 10 carbon atoms as solvent to produce a polystyrene-supported cycloalkadienyl metal carbonyl.
