Abstract:Herein we report the use of supported nanoparticles of crystalline rhodium sulphides as active heterogeneous catalysts for the hydroformylation of alkenes showing an excellent selectivity towards the aldehyde products. It was found that supported RhxSy (x=17, y=15 or x=2, y=3 with 1 and 10 wt.% Rh) nanoparticles greatly outperform pure Rh nanoparticles in terms of activity, with Rh17S15/SiO2 being the superior catalyst candidate. The TOF for the hydroformylation of styrene, determined for the lead system Rh17S… Show more
