Aqueous organometallic reactions of rhodium porphyrins: equilibrium thermodynamics

The reactivity and equilibrium thermodynamic studies of tetra-p-sulfonatophenyl porphyrin rhodium hydride ([(TSPP)Rh–D]–4) with CO, aldehydes and olefins that produce formyl, -hydroxyalkyl and alkyl complexes have been explored in water and compared with the related reactions in non-aqueous media.
