Mm. Dell'Anna et al., Synthesis and copolymerization of rhodium(I) and palladium(II) complexes with the deprotonated form of 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate, INORG CHIM, 304(1), 2000, pp. 21-25
The reactions of [(cod)RhCl](2) (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and Na2PdCl4 wit
h the anion of 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate (AAEMA(-)) afforded (cod)
Rh(AAEMA) (1) and Pd(AAEMA)(2) (2). Thermal copolymerization of 1 and 2 wit
h suitable comonomers and cross-linkers yielded insoluble resins that have
been characterised by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, XPS and SEM technique
s and successfully used in the hydrogenation of 1-heptene under mild condit
ions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
