Abstract

Through the study of the critical solution temperature of ionic liquids [CH3(OCH2CH2)n N+Et3] [CH3SO3-] (ILPEG, n = 12, 16, 22), ILPEG-stabilized Rh nanoparticle catalysts have been found to function as thermoregulated phase-separable catalysts and have been shown to be efficient and recyclable for the selective hydrogenation of 1, 5-cyclooctadiene (1, 5-COD) to cyclooctene (COE). Under optimized conditions, the conversion of 1, 5-COD and selectivity for COE were 99% and 90%, respectively. The Rh catalyst could be recovered by simple phase separation and reused for ten times without loss of activity or selectivity.
