Reaction of rhodium III chlorides with ethylene in aqueous HC1 solution.

In the presence of iron (III) and other oxidants, HCl solutions of RhCl₃.3H₂O under mild conditions catalyze the oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde. The kinetics of the reaction measured by gas-uptake techniques indicate the presence of both ethylene dependent and independent steps. Hydroxy speci...
