Complex rhodium hydroformylation catalysts are prepared by treating a liquid body containing a triarylphosphine and an inorganic catalyst precursor, such as Rh2O3. 10H2O or Rh (NO3)3.2H2O, with carbon monoxide under essentially hydrogen-free conditions at a temperature in the range of from about 50 DEG C to about 160 DEG C, and thereafter supplying carbon monoxide and hydrogen to a liquid reaction medium comprising material of the thus treated liquid body. |
