Definitions
- the present invention relates to the preparation and use of catalyst precursors of rhodium complex catalysts.
- the active catalyst is not brought into the process in pure form for cost reasons and / or because of its difficult handling, but is produced in the hydroformylation reactor under the reaction conditions of hydroformylation from one or more suitable precursors.
