In order to solve the difficult problem in separation of homogeneous catalyst from the reaction mixture, heterogenized rhodium carbonyl complex catalyst for hydroformylation of olefins was prepared by copolymerization of functionalized 3-aminopropyltriethoxysalane with tetraethoxysalane (TEOS) via the sol-gel method. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ICP and N2 absorption. The activity, selectivity and stability of this catalyst for 1-hexene hydroformylation have been examined. It was concluded the activity depended on the surface area of the catalyst matrix, which varied according to the pH in the sol-gel process. The conversion of 1-hexene reached 98.8%, with a selectivity of 99.6% of aldehydes and the n/i ratio of 0.86 under optimized conditions. Furthermore, it showed excellent stability and reusability, the catalyst was used for six times without obvious loss of activity.
