Abstract

[Rh(OH)6]3− intercalated Ni–Zn mixed basic salt (Rh/NiZn) acts as an efficient catalyst for the hydrophenylation of internal alkynes with arylboronic acids under mild conditions. The turnover number per Rh site approached 740 in the reaction between 4-octyne and phenylboronic acid. The catalytic monomeric Rh(III) complex is stabilised within the NiZn interlayers, attributable to a strong electrostatic interaction, promoting its re-use.
