Abstract: Internal olefins are cheaper and more readily available feedstock than terminal olefins. The development of highly selective and active hydroformylation catalysts for internal olefins to produce linear aldehydes is of great importance from economic and energy points of view. This review systematically summarized the progress in this area using a variety of diphosphine ligands.

Key words: rhodium, diphosphorous ligand, internal olefin, hydroformylation
