The extraction and separation of iridium(IV) rhodium(III) from hydrochloric acid solutions by a hydrophobic eutectic solvent composed tetraheptylammonium chloride decanoic have been studied for the first time. This selectively extracts over rhodium(III), highest factor obtained is approximately 20. effects main experimental factors (shaking time, volume ratio aqueous to organic phase, concentra...

Transition metal–catalyzed asymmetric hydrofunctionalization of alkenes provides straightforward approaches to access optically active organic compounds. Rhodium compounds ligated by chiral phosphine ligands are the most frequently used catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation reactions unsaturated molecules containing C=C and C=N bonds. However, rapid development cobalt catalysis over past...

A 2,4,6-trialkylanilide-containing chiral diene has been identified as a superior ligand for the enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed arylation of alkenylazaarenes with arylboronic acids.

A novel three hindered quadrant bisphosphine ligand has been synthesized. The ligand shows excellent enantioselectivities and reactivities for rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenations of various functionalized olefins.

PhanePhos-analogous phosphorous ligands have been generated via self-assembly through hydrogen-bonding, and studied in rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation (up to 99% ee).

The addition reaction of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids to isocyanates is catalysed by a rhodium(I) complex, affording secondary amides under mild conditions.

The synthesis and applications in catalysis of nanoparticles formed from ruthenium, rhodium, osmium iridium have been reviewed.

Phosphoramidites are effective chiral ligands in the rhodium catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes providing up to 75% enantioselectivity and up to 96% isolated yield.

Highly active rhodium catalysts have been prepared by immobilization of an ionic liquid film on carbon nanotubes functionalized with imidazolium-based ionic moieties.
