Chiral Diphosphite‐Modified Rhodium(0) Nanoparticles: Catalyst Reservoir for Styrene Hydroformylation
Résumé
The organometallic synthesis of rhodium nanoparticles stabilized with diphosphite ligands is described. These nanoparticles were investigated as catalysts in the styrene hydroformylation reaction, and their activity and selectivity were compared with those of similar molecular complexes. NMR spectroscopic studies performed during the course of the catalytic reaction showed that the synthesized nanoparticles are not stable and produce molecular species.
