[Rh(CO)2Cl]2.

The influence of immobilized and homogeneous Rh-contained complex, [Rh(CO)2Cl]2, on the oxidation reaction of 1-octene by molecular oxygen on the initial stages of process was investigated. It was established that the immobilized as well as homogeneous rhodium complex activate the oxidation reaction in the presence of radical processes initiator – hydroperoxide tert-butyl. It was shown that the usage of the immobilized catalyst allows to reach higher process parameters at lower amount of the applied rhodium complex.
