Highly uniform Rh nanoparticles supported on boron doped g-C3N4 as a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for heterogeneous hydroformylation of alkenes

A series of boron doped g-C3N4 supported rhodium nanoparticle catalysts has been synthesized for the first time and exhibited excellent catalytic activity and easy recycling properties in the hydroformylation of styrene due to the boron doping, which modified the delocalized conjugated π structure of g-C3N4 and increased the adsorption and dispersion of Rh nanoparticles.
