A study has been carried out of the catalytic activity of the systems formed by 4> or 3> with the modifying ligands P(OPh)3, PPh3, diphos and Cp2Zr(CH2PPh2)2 in hydroformylation of hex-1-ene (at p = 5 bar).The best results were obtained with the system 4> + Cp2Zr(CH2PPh2)2 (75-85percent yield of aldehydes).
