Abstract

Abstract This study reveals that, in contrast to expectations, supramolecular encapsulated rhodium catalysts can be used at industrially relevant temperatures (75–80 C), providing highly active catalysts. The unprecedented regioselectivity for the branched aldehydes can be retained if high carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations are used.
