Abstract
Rhodium(I) complexes of the type, [Rh(COD)ClL] (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene and L=Ph3PO, Ph3PS and Ph3PSe) have been synthesized. The complexes show higher efficiency as catalyst for carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid and methyl acetate at 130 °C and 15 bar pressure than the industrially used species [Rh(CO)2I2]-.
