Journal of Catalysis | Study on Quantitative Ligand Effect and Reaction Mechanism of Formaldehyde Hydroformylation
Recently, the paper entitled "Quantitative Ligand Effect and Mechanism Insight of Rh-biphosphine Complexes in Hydroformylation of Formaldehyde" was published in Journal of Catalysis. The first author of the paper is Feng Yi, a PhD student in 2019, and the corresponding authors are Associate Researcher Wang Meiyan and Professor Ma Xinbin. In this paper, a series of efficient rhodium-biphosphine complexes catalyzed formaldehyde hydroformylation systems were developed for the first time, and the influence of ligand properties on the reaction path was understood by DFT theory.
