Abstract
Kinetics of homogenous hydrogenation of 1-heptene catalysed by rhodium(I) complexes prepared in situ from μ,μ'-dichloro-bis(cyclooctenerhodium) and phosphines of the type RP(C6H5)2 (R = -CH3, -(CH2)nSi(CH3)3; n = 1-4) have been studied. The substitution of the ligands by the trimethylsilyl group was found to increase significantly the catalytic activity of the complexes. The results are discussed in relation to the electron density on the phosphorus atom determined by 31P NMR spectroscopy and to its proton acceptor ability determined by IR spectroscopy.Keywords
