We present the design of a hydroformylation catalyst through the immobilization of air-stable Rh nanoparticles (NPs) on a magnetic support functionalized with a hyperbranched polymer that bears terminal phosphine groups. The catalyst modification with the hyperbranched polymer improved the metal–support interaction, the metal loading, and the catalytic activity. The catalyst was active for the hydroformylation of natural products, such as estragole, and could be used in successive reactions with negligible metal leaching. The phosphine grafting played a key role in the recyclability of Rh NPs under hydroformylation conditions. The catalytic activity was maintained in successive reactions, even if the catalyst was exposed to air during each recovery procedure. The modification of the support with hyperbranched polyester allowed us either to increase the number of Rh active species or to obtain more active Rh species on the catalyst surface.

A series of [Rh(COD)(X2-bipy)]BF4 complexes (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; X2-bipy = 4,4′-disubstituted 2,2′-bipyridines; X = OCH3, CH3, H, Cl or NO 2) has been prepared from [Rh(COD)Cl]2. The complexes for X = OCH3, Cl and NO2 have not been described previously in the literature. All complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and UV-Vis spectrometry. This series of complexes presents a wide variation on electron density over the metal centre with virtually no variation on its steric environment which discloses interesting possibilities for catalytic and electro-catalytic studies. A preliminary evaluation of these complexes on the hydroformylation of camphene and β-pinene showed that under the rather drastic conditions employed the complexes acted as a precursor for [Rh(CO)3H], which accounts for most of the catalytic activity.
