Abstract

The electronic effect in the rhodium diphosphine catalyzed hydroformylation was investigated. A series of electronically modified thixantphos ligands was synthesized, and their effects on coordination chemistry and catalytic performance were studied. Phosphine basicity was varied by using p-(CH3) 2N, p-CH3O, pH, pF, p-Cl, or p-CF3 substituents on the diphenylphosphine moieties. X-ray crystal structure determinations of the complexes ( ...
