Catalyst Comprising a Complex of a Metal from Subgroup VIII Based on a Bidentate Phosphonite Ligand, and Method for Producing Nitriles

摘要

A catalyst which comprises at least one complex of a metal of subgroup VIII having at least one bidentate phosphonite ligand of the formula Ior salts and mixtures thereof, a process for the preparation of mixtures of monoolefinic C5-mononitriles, a process for the catalytic isomerization of branched aliphatic monoalkenenitriles and a process for the preparation of adiponitrile.
