Abstract

Kinetics of HRh (CO)(PPh3) 3 encapsulated in hexagonal mesoporous silica has been investigated for the heterogeneous catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-hexene. The rates of hydroformylation of C5–C12 alkenes, determined under identical conditions, indicated a decreasing trend on increasing the chain length of the alkenes. The representative alkene, 1- hexene has been subjected for detail kinetic investigations. The 1-hexene ...
