50. Although cobalt does not form a stable amalgam with Hg, heterogeneous cobalt catalysis can be inhibited by the addition of Hg in some cases. For example, Kou and co-workers reported that hydroformylation heterogeneously catalyzed by Co nanoparticles was inhibited by an excess of Hg;, Z. Cai, H. Wang, C. Xiao, M. Zhong, D. Ma, Y. Kou, J. Mol. Catal. A 2010, 330, 94.
51. Weix, Holland and co-workers reported that catalytic alkene isomerization using a molecular Co complex as a precatalyst was significantly suppressed by the presence of Hg. They mentioned that the Hg test strongly implicates a heterogeneous Co colloid as the actual catalyst, which may be generated from degradation of the Co complex;, C. Chen, T. R. Dugan, W. W. Brennessel, D. J. Weix, P. L. Holland, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 945.
52. When a catalyst is poisoned by a substoichiometric amount of poison, nanoparticles are considered to be true catalysts. When we added 0.3, 1, and 2 equivalents of PMe2Ph to the Co atom of the catalyst under the same reaction conditions, 2 equivalents of PMe2Ph were required to suppress significantly the formation of 1. The result of the poisoning-test indicates that a homogeneous Co complex worked as a true reactive catalyst in the present catalytic reaction. For a recent review, see:, J. F. Sonnenberg, R. H. Morris, Catal. Sci. Technol. 2014, 4, 3426.
