ABSTRACT:

A high-pressure infrared cell was used to study reactions of transition metal alkyls at elevated CO and H sub 2 pressures (hydroformylation). Two types of catalytic systems were investigated for the synthesis of alcohols from CO and H sub 2. Addition of CO to metal-metal triple bonds was studied. Kinetics of the water gas shift reaction catalyzed by transition metal carbonyls was studied. (ERA citation 07:021117)
