Novel smart ligand for immobilizing a highly efficient Rh-catalyst
Abstract
Novel highly efficient Rh-based catalysts with a good regioselectivity in olefin hydroformylation have been prepared by deliberately choosing 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid as a ligating molecule to [Rh(cod)Cl]2 (cod = cyclooctadiene) and a simple recovery process for their recycling was investigated.
