Reactions of Ethylene with Rhodium (III) Chloride. Part IV. Relative Activity of Tetra-, Penta-, and Hexa-chlororhodate(III) Complexes for the Oxidation of Ethylene to Acetaldehyde in Aqueous Acid Solutions
Keyword(s):
The catalytic oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde using the rhodium(III) chloride complexes, [Formula: see text] in the presence of iron(III) has been studied kinetically in aqueous acid solutions under mild conditions.[Formula: see text] is inactive due to the absence of a coordinated water (hydroxide) ligand. Solutions containing tetrachloro species are generally more reactive than those containing pentachloro species because of the presence of a greater concentration of highly reactive hydroxy species. The neutral and cationic chloro-complexes are inactive due to their substitution inertness.
