Rhodium(I) betadiketone complexes as model catalysts in methanol carbonylation
(University of the Free State, 2009-06-09)
Abstract not available
A crystallographic, computational and mechanistic study of rhodium enaminoketonado complexes
(University of the Free State, 2013-01)
English: This study includes the investigation of enaminoketones as ligand systems in rhodium complexes with possible future application in catalysis. In order to evaluate the influence of substituents on the phenyl ring ...
Structural and reactivity study of rhodium(i) carbonyl complexes as model nano assemblies
(University of the Free State, 2015-07)
This study focussed on the investigation of different β-diketonato ligands in coordination to rhodium(I). Square planar [Rh(O,O’-Bid)(CO)2] complexes have been shown to effectively facilitate metallophilic interactions ...
Rhoduim phosphine catalysed hydroformylation
(University of the Free State, 2005-12)
English: The aim of this study was to investigate hydroformylation reactions using phosphine modified rhodium catalyst systems. Comparisons between the traditional monodentate PPh3 ligand and the bidentate xantphos ligand ...
The characterisation and kinetic study of rhodium(I) and iridium(I) triazole complexes
(University of the Free State, 2000-11)
English: A number of triazolecyclooctadienemetal(l) complexes of the type
[M(LL')(cod)] (where M = Ir or Rh and LL' represents the different
bidentate N-N'- donor atom ligands, such as bpt-Nl+ and bpt) as
well as their ...
Methanol carbonylation via platinum group metal complexes
(University of the Free State, 2010-11)
The aim of this study, firstly, involved the synthesis of a range of S,O-functionalized thiourea
ligands with systematically changing electro-steric properties and investigate these ligands
coordination modes to rhodium ...
Electrochemical, kinetic and molecular mechanic aspects of Rhodium(I) and Rhodium(II) complexes
(University of the Free State, 1998-11)
English: Four Rh(I)(β-diketonato)(CO)(PPh3) complexes, in which the β-diketone has different electronegativities and steric hindrances, were successfully synthesised and characterised by means of Infrared and NMR spectroscopy. ...
A crystallographic, computational and mechanistic study of rhodium enaminoketonato complexes
(University of the Free State, 2013-01)
English: This study includes the investigation of enaminoketones as ligand systems in rhodium complexes with possible future application in catalysis. In order to evaluate the influence of substituents on the phenyl ring ...
Synthesis, electrochemical, kinetic and thermodynamic properties of new ferrocene-containing betadiketonato rhodium(I) complexes with biomedical applications
(University of the Free State, 2002-11)
English: Synthetic routes to prepare new ferrocene-containing β-diketones, FcCOCH2COR, with Fc =
ferrocenyl, R = H, CH3, CH2CH3, CH(CH3)2 and C(CH3)3, have been developed. Rhodium
complexes of the type [Rh(FcCOCHCOR)(cod)] ...
Quantification of rhodium in series of inorganic and organometallic compounds
(University of the Free State, 2009-11)
The main objective of this research was to establish an analytical method using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) to accurately quantify and optimize the percentage recovery of rhodium. ...
