The observation of Delepine that alcohol facilitates the synthesis of certain rhodium(III) complexes was investigated. For the reaction between K2[Rh(H2O)Cl5] and pyridine (py) to yield trans-[Rh(py)4Cl2]Cl, it was found that the role of the alcohol is to generate catalytic amounts of a lower oxidation state of rhodium. It is assumed that this is Rh(I), and a two-electron bridged activated complex mechanism is proposed for the catalysis reaction.

Described are quantitative studies of the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) catalysis by homogeneous solutions of RhCl3 in aqueous pyridine and other substituted pyridine solutions. This system is a stable, moderately active catalyst displaying turnover frequencies for hydrogen production (TF(H2)) of about 102 moles H2 per mole Rh per day for [Rh] = 0.01 mol 1-1, P(CO) = 0.9 atm and T = 100°C with an Ea value of approximately 11.5 kcal mol-1 deg-1. The TF(H2) values were first order in P(CO) but displayed a complex dependence on [Rh].
