摘要
Homogeneous catalysts for the water gas shift reaction prepared from Rh2(-Pz)2(COD)2 (Pz = pyrazolate ion and COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in aqueous organic solvent media (pyridine, 4-picoline or 2-ethoxyethanol) and Rh2(-Pz)2(CO)2(TPPMS)2 (TPPMS = meta-sulfonatophenyl-diphenyldiphosphine) in acidic aqueous media under mild conditions are described. In situ FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic studies of the Rh2(-Pz)2(COD)2 catalytic system reveal the presence of hydrido-Rh complexes with linear and bridging carbonyls. These complexes also catalyze the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline.
