Entrapment of rhodium complexes in inorganic or hybrid matrices via the sol-gel method

Rhodium complexes have been entrapped inside the porous systems of inorganic or hybrid matrices via the sol-gel method. The resulting materials were tested as catalysts in hydroformylation reactions. The microporous materials could be recycled without any rhodium leaching, being active even in the absence of a solvent. High turnover numbers were obtained in the hydroformylation of either 1-hexene or 1-decene. However, the characteristics of the matrix could not be related to the addition (or not) of a hybrid organic-inorganic co-condensation agent, but appeared to depend on the nature of the rhodium complex.
