Abstract
Abstract An improved catalyst composition for the hydroformylation of olefinically unsaturated compounds using catalytically active organometallic complexes wherein said complexes are dissolved in a ligand-forming compound and impregnated into a porous solid carrier material which is essentially free of alkali metal ions and acid or basic groups which would otherwise be reactive with the organo-metallic commplex.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
In a catalyst composition composed of a solid porous particulate carrier material impregnated with a solution of a catalytically active organometallic complex in an excess amount of ligand-forming compound, the improvement consisting essentially in said carrier having an organophilic surface which is completely or virtually free of alkali metal ions and acid or basic groups which would be reactive with the said organometallic complex.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
In a catalyst composition composed of a solid porous particulate carrier material impregnated with a solution of a catalytically active organometallic complex in an excess amount of ligand-forming compound, the improvement consisting essentially in said carrier having an organophilic surface which is completely or virtually free of alkali metal ions and acid or basic groups which would be reactive with the said organometallic complex.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
Catalyst composition according to claim 1, wherein the carrier material is of the group of (a) porous, solid, cross-linked polymers freed of polar contaminants, (b) silica rendered hydrophobic by a thermal treatment, and (c) silica or silica-alumina the surface of which has been treated with a reagent that irreversibly converts the reactive groups on the carrier surface into inert groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
Catalyst according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the carrier material is a macroporous polystyrene resin, cross-linked by means of divinylbenzene and free of ionic contaminants.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
Catalyst according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the carrier material is silica or silica-alumina the reactive surface groups of which have been converted into groups inert with respect to the organometallic complex by reaction with a silane compound that possesses at least one substituent capable of reacting with the reactive surface groups, and, further, is free of groups interfering with the activity of the organometallic complex.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
68 words
Catalyst according to claim 4, wherein use is made of a silane compound having the formula Si(OR') 4 , R n SI X 4-n , or R n Si(OR) 4-n , in which R is a substituted or non-substituted C 1-12 alkyl or aryl group, R' is a C 1-18 alkyl or aryl group, X is a halogen atom, and n is equal to 1, 2 or 3.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
Catalyst according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the carrier material is a silica containing less than 100 ppm of sodium and rendered hydrophobic by heating to a temperature above 700° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
90 words
A catalyst composition consisting of particles of a solid porous carrier material the pores of which are impregnated with a solution of a catalytically active organometallic complex, having as the central metal atom in said complex a metal selected from Groups V, VI, VII, and VIII of the Periodic Table or mixtures thereof, in an excess amount of ligand-forming compound, wherein said carrier has an organophilic surface which is completely or virtually free of alkali metal ions and acid or basic groups which would be reactive with said organometallic complex.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
90 words
A catalyst composition consisting of particles of a solid porous carrier material the pores of which are impregnated with a solution of a catalytically active organometallic complex, having as the central metal atom in said complex a metal selected from Groups V, VI, VII, and VIII of the Periodic Table or mixtures thereof, in an excess amount of ligand-forming compound, wherein said carrier has an organophilic surface which is completely or virtually free of alkali metal ions and acid or basic groups which would be reactive with said organometallic complex.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
Catalyst composition according to claim 7, wherein the central metal atom is selected from the group consisting of rhodium, cobalt, ruthenium, iridium, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
62 words
Catalyst composition according to claim 1 or 8 wherein the ligand-forming compound has a vapor pressure under reaction conditions of less than 1.3 mbar and corresponds to the formula PR 1 R 2 R 3 or P(OR 1 )(OR 2 )(OR 3 ) in which R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 represent aliphatic, aromatic, or alkyl-aromatic C 1-20 hydrocarbons.
