Heterogeneous Phosphine-Containing Hydroformylation Catalysts Based on Modified Porous Organic Frameworks

Abstract— A series of heterogeneous phosphine-containing rhodium hydroformylation catalysts based on porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) were prepared. The catalysts PAF30-MDEA-TPPTS-Rh (TPPTS is trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3''-trisulfonate, MDEA is methyldiethanolamine fragment) and PAF-30-Im-TPPTS-Rh (Im is imidazole fragment) showed the highest stability in repeated use in 1-hexene hydroformylation. The catalyst PAF-30-MDEA-TPPTS-Rh before and after use in hydroformylation was characterized by elemental C,N,H,S analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectroscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effect of temperature, pressure, and solvent on the course of hydroformylation in the presence of PAF-30-MDEA-TPPTS-Rh was studied. The catalyst is active in hydroformylation of a series of unsaturated compounds, including functionalized substrates and olefins with internal double bond.
