D. De Groot et al., Rhodium catalysed hydroformylation using diphenylphosphine functionalised carbosilane dendrimers, INORG CH C, 3(12), 2000, pp. 711-713
Diphenylphosphine functionalised carbosilane dendrimers Si((CH2)(n)Si(CH3)(
2)(CH2PPh2))(4) (n=2,3; generation 1-3) and Si((CH2)(n)Si(CH3)(CH2PPh2)(2))
(4) (n = 2,3; generation 1-2) have been synthesised and used as ligands in
the rhodium catalysed hydroformylation of 1-octene. The activity of the sys
tem depends on the size and flexibility of the dendrimeric ligand. (C) 2000
