Claims
- 1. A catalyst complex of formula: Rh(CO)X(R'.sub.2 PGZ) wherein X is halogen, R' is aryl, aralkyl, or alkaryl having from 6 to 10 ring carbon atoms and the alkyl moiety of said aralkyl or alkaryl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and wherein 1 or more of said R' groups can be substituted with a Z group but not more than 3 of said R' groups in the molecule are so substituted; a is an integer from 0-4; b is an integer from 0-3; G represents the two groups:
- and Z ia a member selected from the group consisting of --P(O)R'R'; --C(O)R" or --C(O)OR", wherein R" is R' or --H.
- 2. A catalyst of formula: Rh(CO).sub.2 X(R'.sub.2 PGZ) wherein X is halogen, R' is aryl, aralkyl or alkaryl having from 6 to 10 ring carbon atoms and the alkyl moiety of said aralkyl or alkaryl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and wherein 1 or more of said R' groups can be substituted with a Z group but not more than 3 of said R' groups in the molecule are so substituted; a is an integer from 0-4; b is an integer from 0-3; G represents the two groups: ##STR20## and Z is a member selected from the group consisting of --P(O)R'R'; --C(O)R" or --C(O)OR", wherein R" is R' or --H.
