By systematic variation of the structure of tertiary phosphines with ortho-phenyl substituted groups as co-catalysts of the homogeneous hydrogenation with Rhodium complexes and hexene-1 as a model compound a collection of data is obtained. By investigating the influence of the variation of the Rhodium/Phosphine-Ratio (Rh/P) (1:1,1 and 1:2,2) on the rate of the hydrogentransfer indirect conclusion can be drawn on the composition of the complexes in the equilibria responsible for the hydrogen transfer.Results: 1. Steric effects of substituents linked to the ortho-position of a phenyl group in the co-catalyst are very important (compare the Tables I-V especially Table VI).2. The rate of hydrogenation is strongly influenced by tertiary phosphines with substituents in a ortho-phenyl group capable for coordination like NR2 and SR. With Rh/P = 1:1,1 the rate of the hydrogenation of hexene-1 is mostly faster as with Rh/P = 1:2,2. Depending on steric effects the rate data can be invers.3. Tertiary arsines with o-dialkylaminophenyl groups are more effective co-catalyst as the corresponding phosphines (Table V).4. Tertiary phosphines with an ortho-alkylmercaptophenyl group (38-41) are weakly active cocatalysts using Rh/P = 1:1,1.The thioether 42 (in compounds 12 the diphenylphosphino group is exchanged by the methylmercapto group) is also a moderate active co-catalyst.5. As a conclusion: it is assumed that complexes of the structure A can coordinate with the substrates hydrogen and olefine . Complexes of the structure B seen to be to stable for the activation of the substrates.
