Abstract
“CO-free” carbonylations are catalytic reactions, which strive to replace toxic synthesis gas with less harmful surrogate molecules like formaldehyde. This study sheds light on the mechanism of the biphasic, Rh-catalysed Pauson-Khand type cyclisation reaction by applyingin situRaman spectroscopy together with NMR, dynamic light scattering measurements, and quantum chemical calculations. The
