Rh(C6H4PPh2)(PPh3)2 catalyzes the decomposition of formic acid to CO2 and H2. The initial step is the oxidative addition of formic acid to produce the intermediate Rh(HCO2)(PPh3)3, which probably is followed by β-hydride elimination, to produce CO2 and RhH(PPh3)3. The latter reacts with formic acid to produce H2 and to reform Rh(HCO2)(PPh3)3. |
