Separation of hydridocarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine) rhodium (I)catalyst using solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane

An investigation was conducted into the nanofiltration of rhodium tris(triphenyl-phosphine) [HRh(CO)(PPh3)3] catalyst used in the hydroformylation of olefins. The large size of the catalyst (>400 Da) - relative to other components of the reaction provides the opportunity for a membrane separation...
