Hydroformylation of Heptene-1 Catalyzed by some Inorganic Polymer-Metal Complexes

Abstract
Some inorganic polymers and their complexes with Rh or with Co-Ru were prepared. The catalytic behavior of these complexes for the hydroformylation of heptene-1 was studied. It was found that almost all of the rhodium complexes cannot tolerate higher reaction temperature when higher selectivity is wanted, except for the polyalumazane-Rh complex. But the cobalt and ruthenium bimetallic complex of polyalumazane can catalyze the hydroformylation of heptene-1 at higher temperature without any decrease in catalytic activity and with a selectivity of about 70% for branched aldehyde. Other factors affecting conversion and selectivity were also studied in detail.
