Description

Consequently, the invention relates to a process for the production of chlorotris(triphenyl phos- phane) rhodium(l) by reacting RhCl; solution with triphenyl phosphine in mixtures of a C,-Cs alcohol with water, subsequent cooling and filtering of the crystalline precipitate obtained, the mixture of the reactants being treated in such a way that
A it is heated in a first stage to approximately 30°C,
B heated further in a second stage from approximately 30 to approximately 75°C, c maintained at 80 to 110°C.
Stage A can be omitted if the mixture is already at 30°C or warmer (compare practical example 1). Stages A and B can pass into each other if, for example, heating is effected over a period of 3/2 h to several hours starting out from room temperature (compare practical example 3). As can be learned from the practical examples, the temperature indication “approximately 30°C” relates to a temperature range of 25 to 35°C. The indication “approximately 75°C” similarly re- lates to a temperature range situated between 68 and 79°C in which, in the process according to the invention, the transition point is usually situated in the direction towards a dark red solu- tion, which indicates that the reaction has taken place in full. Moreover, the lower temperature limit needs to be reduced to 78°C in step C when ethanol is used as the solvent.
Preferably, the duration of the individual stages is as follows: A approximately 2-1 h, B ap- proximately 1 — 4 h and C approximately ¥2 - 1 h. In this respect, the limits should be considered as flexible, i.e. e.g. +/- 10 minutes in the case of half an hour and +/- 30 minutes in the case of 4 hours. However, an attempt will be made not to excessively prolong the period of the stages for economic reasons.
A process for the production of chlorotris(triphenyl phosphane) rhodium(l) is particularly pre- ferred in the case of which - a solution of RhCl; in water is prepared or a RhCl; solution from a recycling process is made available, - the solution is combined with a C,-Cs alcohol, preferably isopropanol, if necessary under a blanketing gas and/or with cooling (e.g. in an ice bath), - triphenyl phosphine is added if necessary as an alcohol solution or suspension in excess, if necessary again with cooling,
A the mixture or suspension obtained is heated in a first stage from approximately 5 to 20 to approximately 30°C,
B heated further in a second stage from approximately 30 to approximately 75°C,
C maintained at 80 to 110°C or, if necessary, boiled under reflux, - the solution obtained is cooled, - the crystals precipitated out are filtered, washed with the alcohol and/or water and/or petro- leum ether and subsequently dried.
Preferably heating is carried out so slowly in step B that the colour change of the solution to dark red takes place at as high a temperature as possible, preferably at approximately 75°C.
This colour change indicates the reaction to chlorotris(triphenyl phosphane) rhodium(l) which is obtained as dark red crystals later on. In the case of rapid heating of the suspension in step B, the colour change takes place as early as at approximately 60°C. Later on, crystals are then formed during cooling which are so small that the filter aids such as frits become blocked or the crystals cannot be retained by the filter. If the temperature is controlled in such a way that, ini- tially, heating is carried out for sometime (in the case of batches in the 100 g region for ¥2 h) from room temperature (18 to 20°C) to approximately 30°C, then in a further stage for approxi- mately 3 h from approximately 30 to 75°C, the colour change takes place only at approximately 75°C. The resulting crystals have a reproducibly satisfactory size to be able to be filtered without problems and satisfy the requirements and specifications of the catalyst user also as regards the purity.
In a preferred embodiment of the process, the RhCl; is used in the form of an aqueous solution from a recycling process. Surprisingly enough, the quality of the crystals obtained is influenced in this way. The part played by the water appears to be decisive in this respect. Triphenyl phosphine dissolves in isopropanol but is almost insoluble in water. The solubility of triphenyl phosphine is reduced by the dilution effect on addition of an approximately 10% aqueous RhCl; solution. This is illustrated in practical example 3 according to which satisfactorily filterable crystals satisfying the specification can be produced in a high yield.
As an alternative, it can prove to be advantageous not to dissolve triphenyl phosphine com- pletely in alcohol but to use it as an alcoholic suspension. Triphenyl phosphine does in fact not dissolve completely immediately at low temperatures but dissolves slowly only at rising tem- peratures and becomes available for the reaction with RhCl; only then. As a result of this effect, the molar ratio between RhCl; and triphenyl phosphine differs from the quantities introduced and in this case, too, the crystal size is again influenced in a surprisingly advantageous manner by the initial darth of triphenyl phosphine.
Consequently, the invention also relates to a process for the production of chlorotris(triphenyl phosphane) rhodium(l) in the case of which
- a solution of RhCl; in water is produced or a RhCl; solution from a recycling process is made available, - isopropanol is provided under a blanketing gas, - the RhCI; solution is added - triphenyl phosphine is added in excess as an alcoholic suspension,
A the suspension obtained is heated in a first stage from approximately 20 to approximately to 30°C,
B in a further stage heated from approximately 25 to 30 to approximately 75°C,
C boiled under reflux at 80 to 110°C, - the solution obtained is cooled, - the crystals precipitated out are filtered, washed with the alcoho! and/or water and/or petro- leum ether and subsequently dried.
An advantage of an embodiment of the process consists in that the entire synthesis can take place within a single day if the reaction described in practical example 4 is begun at room tem- perature without prior cooling of the solvent. In practice, this proves to be a considerable eco- nomic advantage.
During working up, it has also proved to be an advantage to cool the solution actively after stage C. Surprisingly enough, this has no unfavourable effect on the crystal size and provides a major advantage as a result of the time savings in comparison with the energy expended on cooling.
Moreover, it is possible to achieve an improved space — time yield by limiting the amount of sol- vent as described in sample 5. Smaller crystals which may be formed in the case of this method can be filtered by means of a suction filter in such a way that, overall, a highly economic proc- ess is obtained in the case of the production of larger quantities.
Moreover, the drying process of the crystalline product can be optimised by washing with iso- propanol and, if necessary, petroleum benzine. As a result, drying times of only one day are possible on an industrial scale.
The following examples serve the purpose of illustrating the invention without restricting it.
Yields are indicated in %, based on the rhodium used.

Synthesis according to Inorg. Synth 10, 67 (1967) and, in an identical manner, Inorg. Synth 28, 77 (1990) 2 g of (rhodium(ill) chloride trihydrate are dissolved in 70 ml of ethanol in a 500 ml round bot- tomed flask with a gas inlet line, reflux condenser and gas discharge. A solution of 12 g of triphenyl phosphine freshly recrystallised from EtOH in 350 ml of hot ethanol is added and the flask is rinsed with nitrogen. The solution is boiled under reflux for two hours and the crystalline product is filtered from the hot solution on a frit. After washing with small portions of 50 ml of anhydrous ether, 6.25 g (yield: 88 % based on Rh) are obtained.
