Synthesis, structure determination, and hydroformylation activity of N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of rhodium

The effect of ancillary phosphine ligands on the structure and hydroformylation activity of Rh-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of type [Rh(IMeS)(PR3)(CO)Cl] and [Rh(SIMes)(PR3)(CO)Cl] is described. Very high selectivities for the branched isomer (>95:5) were obtained in the hydroformylation of vinylarenes in all cases except for R = OPh. The new complexes were characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography.

Rhodium carbene complexes: highly selective catalysts for the hydroformylation of styrene derivatives

Two new carbene-rhodium complexes are reported that are active hydroformylation catalysts, giving very high selectivities for the branched isomer (>95:5) when vinyl arenes are used as substrates. The carbene analogue of Wilkinson's catalyst, [RhIMes(PPhs
