A clean route is described for the preparation of 1.3% (w/w) supported rhodium nanoparticle (3.0 ± 0.7 nm) catalysts onto commercial ion-exchange resins. Their application to the liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction of C=C bonds shows the most active species are obtained under catalytic conditions at room temperature and 1 bar H2. The heterogeneous catalyst shows excellent activity, selectivity and reusability in the hydrogenation reaction of alkenes and substituted arenes under very undemanding conditions. The results are discussed in terms of support effect on the catalytic efficiency.

The Rh nanoparticles Rh1-Rh4 stabilised by the mono- and bidentate phosphine and phosphite ligands I-IV were synthesised, characterised and applied as catalysts in the partial hydrogenation of substituted arenes. In the case of disubstituted arenes, selectivities for the corresponding cyclohexene derivatives of up to 39% were achieved at ca. 40% conversion. The effect of parameters such as temperature and pressure was also examined. In the hydrogenation of styrene, very high selectivities for ethylbenzene were achieved with TOF values up to ca. 23500 h-1. All these results show that the catalytic performance of small Rh-NPs can be modulated by the appropriate choice of stabilising agents.

A reduced aqueous colloidal suspension of rhodium shows an efficient activity in the catalytic hydrogenation of various benzene derivatives under biphasic conditions at room temperature and under atmospheric hydrogen pressure. The rhodium nanoparticles in the size range of 2-2.5 nm have been synthesised by reducing RhCl3 · 3 H2O with sodium borohydride and were stabilised by highly water-soluble N,N-dimethyl-N-cetyl-N-(2- hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (HEA16X, X = Br, Cl, I, CH3SO 3, BF4). The major influence of the counter-ion of these surfactants on catalytic activity and recycling is described. The best results have been obtained with chloride ammonium salts HEA16Cl.
