A heterogeneous Rh/CPOL-BINAPa&PPh3 catalyst for hydroformylation of olefins: chemical and DFT insights into active species and the roles of BINAPa and PPh3

A reusable Rh/CPOL-BINAPa&PPh 3 catalyst was used for heterogeneous hydroformylation of olefins, affording the corresponding linear aldehydes with excellent regioselectivities and high TON values. The active Rh–H species were studied in detail.
