Abstract

The preparation, characterization and catalytic properties of Rh 2(CO) 4Cl 2 immobilized on poly(4-vinylpyridine) are reported. The polymer-immobilized Rh catalyst in contact with 80% aqueous 2-ethoxyethanol is active for the water gas shift reaction and nitrobenzene reduction to azoxybenzene under carbon monoxide at 100°C. The polymer-immobilized Rh complex was found to be reusable. The Rh complex was coordinatively bonded to the pyridine groups of the organic polymer as suggested by UV-Vis/diffuse reflectance (UV-Vis/DR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. The morphology and the elemental analysis of the immobilized catalyst were studied by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) technique. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
