Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of flourocarbon containing rhodium complexes for biphasic hydroformylation reactions

The synthesis and characterization of fluorocarbon-containing salicylaldimine and iminophosphine ligands and their Rh(I) complexes is described. These ligands were obtained via a Schiff base condensation reaction between 2-diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde with the appropriate amines. The ligands were subsequently used to synthesize various Rh(I) complexes of the type [Rh(PN)Cl(CO)] and [Rh(NO)COD] from metal precursors [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ and [RhCl(COD)]₂ , respectively. The complexes were isolated as air stable solids.
