New trends in the rate behavior of rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol

The kinetics of the carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid using homogeneous rhodium complex catalysts was studied in aqueous and acetic acid media. In aqueous media, the rate was found to be dependent on carbon monoxide and methanol concentrations. The rate was 0.64th order with respect to methan...
