Abstract
Molybdenum promoted Rh/SiO2 catalysts have been prepared by using the heteronuclear cluster (C5H5)3RhMo2(CO)5 as well as metal salt precursors. The promoting effect of molybdenum has been studied for the hydroformylation of ethene and propene and the hydrogenation of acetaldehyde. It has been found that molybdenum, especially on the cluster-derived catalyst, increases both the hydrogenation and the hydroformylation rate of the olefins. No specific influence on the CO insertion reaction could be obtained. As an explanation, the promotion of the initial step to form intermediate surface alkyl groups has been proposed as the rate determining step for ethene hydroformylation. The promotion of the alcohol formation by bimetallic centers having Rh and Mo in close vicinity has been supported by the results of the hydrogenation of acetaldehyde.
