Rh III carbonate generated from either a peroxocarbonate complex [RhCl(CO 4 )(PR 3 ) 3 ] or [RhCl 3 (PR 3 ) 3 ] and Na 2 CO 3 , is reduced to Rh I by deoxygenation of the carbonate moiety to CO 2 by an out‐of‐sphere phosphane. The reaction takes place in mild conditions and is implied in the catalytic activity shown by Rh I in the oxidation of styrene with O 2 /CO 2 mixtures.
