Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid in aqueous sol utions of polyethylene oxide in the presence of various amines was studied. The rhodium complex formed in situ under the reaction conditions from rhod ium(III) chloride and triphenylphosphine was used as the catalyst. The depe ndence of the yield of formic acid on the amine nature and on the metal and polymer concentration was studied.
