Feasible photocatalysis : The rhodium catalyst [Rh(CO)(PMe 3 ) 2 Cl] photochemically transforms ethane to propionaldehyde in single‐phase mixtures of ethane and in carbon dioxide/ethane single phases [Eq. (1)]. A side reaction of carbon dioxide with the catalyst to give OPMe 3 and [Rh(CO) 2 (PMe 3 )Cl] or [Rh 2 (CO) 2 (PMe 3 ) 2 ( μ ‐Cl) 2 ] has also been observed.
