The structural characterization and hydroformylation activity of the tri-rhodium complex [Rh3(μ2-dppm)2(μ2-CO)3(K1-CO)3]BF4
摘要:
Rh-2(cod)(2)(mu(2)-dppm)(mu(2)-Cl)]BF4 (1) rearranges under carbon monoxide to give [Rh-3(mu(2)-dppm)(2)-(mu(2)-CO)(3)(K-1-CO)(3)]BF4 (2). Complex 2 has been structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The hydroformylation activities of 1 and 2 were compared for substrates styrene and 1-hexene and the activity of 2 found to be unexpectedly high. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
