Although the high efficiency of the homogeneous processes, using rhodium or iridium complexes, was clearly demonstrated industrially, heterogeneous catalysts offer the advantages of facile product separation and vapor phase operation, which often limit catalyst losses. Both noble and non-noble metal homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyzed carbonylation of methanol have been studied for many years. In this short chapter, we intend to analyze the recent evolutions of the most promising catalytic systems for this important reaction of catalysis. A presentation by metals was chosen, always referring to the origins of the first catalytic systems.

甲醇羰基化反应制乙酸的最新进展

尽管工业上清楚地证明了使用铑或铱配合物的均相方法的高效率，但非均相催化剂具有产物分离和气相操作容易的优点，这常常限制了催化剂的损失。贵金属和非贵金属均相和非均相催化的甲醇羰基化研究已经很多年了。在这一简短的章节中，我们打算分析这一重要的催化反应最有希望的催化系统的最新发展。选择了一种以金属表示的形式，总是参考第一个催化体系的起源。
