One-step synthesis of N-coordinated Rh catalysts for efficient and stable alkene hydroformylation†

Abstract

A new class of nitrogen-coordinated Rh heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized by a simple one-pot method for hydroformylation of alkenes with high activity and superior resuability, which could be ascribed to the uniform dispersion of Rh species and enhanced metal–support interactions after the in situ introduction of nitrogen.
