Metal complex catalysts on carriers

Abstract

1. A metallic rhodium catalyst was produced by reduction with hydrogen under mild conditions of the complex NaH3[(acac)Rh(O2)2RhOH(H2O)], applied on aluminosilicate. 2. The applied metallic and metallocomplex catalysts are characterized by different kinetic dependences. 3. From a comparison of the catalytic properties of the applied metallic catalyst and a heterogeneous metallocomplex catalyst on an ion exchange resin, it follows that the coordination of the functional groups of the organic carrier with the central atom prevent the aggregation of the active component when the content of the metal in the catalyst is increased and lead to a decrease in the activity in comparison with the metallic catalyst, calculated per g-atom of Rh.
