Commercial applications of reactions catalyzed by soluble complexes of cobalt and rhodium
Twenty-seven major processes catalyzed by soluble transition metal catalysts are listed in this article. Oxidation reactions are a major component of homogeneous catalysis technology. Cobalt is the most prevalent catalytic metal. It is widely used in the oxidation of hydrocarbons as well as in CO reactions. Of the metals in the second transition series, rhodium is most prevalent. It is replacing cobalt in many CO reactions and has many potential applications. In this paper, the author explores the applications of cobalt complexes in catalysis of oxidation and carbonylation reactions. Carbon monoxide reactions, especially hydrocarboxylation, are also discussed. Speculative applications of cobalt and rhodium catalysts are briefly presented. (DMC)
