Probing the Bimetallic Rhco3 Cluster Preserved on SiO2 After Thermal-Treatment Under O-2 by Hydroformylation
RhCo3(CO)(12)/SiO2, after decarbonylation under atmospheric O-2 at 623 K, exhibits excellent catalytic performances in atmospheric ethylene hydroformylation at 423 K, which is consistent with the corresponding catalysis by the bimetallic cluster catalyst RhCo3/SiO2.
