4-(4'-Polystyryimethyloxy)-3-carboxylatomethyloxy-1-phenylacetate bis- μ-coordinated rhodium(II) diacetate complex, a resin-bound analogue of dirhodium tetraacetate in which two adjacent μ-bridging acetate moleties are covalently linked, serves as an efficient, stable and re-useable immobilised alkene hydrofomylation and hydrogenation catalyst.
