Abstract

RhH(CO)(C60)(PPh3)2 has been synthesised by reacting the hydroformylation catalyst, RhH (CO) (PPh3)3, with an equimolar amount of C60 in toluene. This compound is an efficient catalyst for the hydroformylation of alkenes to aldehydes at 90-degrees-C. The activity and regio-specificity for the conversion of propene, CO and H-2 to butanal are only slightly lower compared to RhH(CO) (PPh3)3, however, the temperature-programmed decomposition of the RhH(CO) (C60) (PPh3)2 compound in the presence of CO and H-2 shows greater thermal stability than the RhH(CO) (PPh3)3.
