Alkene and dihydrogen formation by catalytic dehydrogenation of alkane with RhCl(PR3)2 photo-generated from RhCl(CO)(PR3)2
Alkene and dihydrogen formation by photocatalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes using RhC1(CO)(PR3)2 proceeded with high turnover frequencies, amounting to 1404 h-1 for nonane at nonane at 135 ΔRG (PR3 = PMe3
