Compounds where a solid carrier material which contains diphosphine rhodium or iridium complexes fixed on the surface thereof, of which the carrier material has the formula IV or IVa: ##STR1## wherein Y denotes two monoolefin ligands or a diene ligand, M is Ir(I) or Rh(i), Z is --Cl, --Br or -I, A.crclbar. is the anion of an oxyacid or complex acid, T is a solid carrier material, r is 0, 1 or 2, and R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are as defined in claim 1. These materials are heterogeneous and separable catalysts for the asymmetrical hydrogenation of prochiral compounds containing carbon double bonds or carbon/hetero atom double bonds, for example ketones and imines.
A solid carrier material which contains a diphosphine rhodium or iridium complex fixed on the surface thereof, which carrier material has the formula IV or IVa ##STR8## wherein Y denotes two monoolefin ligands or a diene ligand, M is Ir(I) or Rh(I), Z is --Cl, --Br or --I, A.sup..crclbar. is the anion of an oxyacid or complex acid, T is a solid carrier material, r is 0, 1 or 2, R.sub.1 denotes identical or different radicals and is linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, unsubstituted C.sub.5 -C.sub.6 cycoalkyl or C.sub.5 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl which is substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, or is phenyl or benzyl, or both substituents R.sub.1 of a group (R.sub.1).sub.2 P are o,o'-diphenylene, R.sub.2 is hydrogen, linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, phenyl or benzyl, R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylene, R.sub.4 is C.sub.2 -C.sub.18 alkylene, phenylene or benzylene, and R.sub.5 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or phenyl.
A process for the preparation of a solid carrier material of formula IV or IVa according to claim 1 which comprises reacting a solid carrier material which contains diphosphines fixed on the surface thereof and has the formula V ##STR9## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, T and r are as defined in claim 10, with a metal compound of formula [M(Y)Z].sub.2 or M(Y).sub.2.sup..sym. A.sup..crclbar., wherein M, Y, Z and A.sup..crclbar. are as defined in claim 10.
