Rhodium nanoparticles supported on gamma-Al2O3, derived from arene-solvated Rh atoms stabilized by trioctylamine (TOA), are valuable catalysts in hydrogenation and silylformylation reactions. They are largely more active than the analogous commercial catalyst, as well as of a sample similarly prepared in the absence of TOA. HRTEM measurements, IR studies on adsorbed CO species and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses evidenced the role of TOA in controlling the particle growth in the preparative process and in stabilizing the resulting Rh particles against erosion by CO and oxidation.

Abstract
Rhodium nanoparticles supported on gamma-Al2O3, derived from arene-solvated Rh atoms stabilized by trioctylamine (TOA), are valuable catalysts in hydrogenation and silylformylation reactions. They are largely more active than the analogous commercial catalyst, as well as of a sample similarly prepared in the absence of TOA. HRTEM measurements, IR studies on adsorbed CO species and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses evidenced the role of TOA in controlling the particle growth in the preparative process and in stabilizing the resulting Rh particles against erosion by CO and oxidation.File in questo prodotto:
