Refluxing of a methanol solution of rhodium(III) chloride and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) with sodium hydroxide gives a stable colloidal dispersion of rhodium particles of 8.8 Å in diameter. The colloidal dispersion exhibits a high catalytic activity for hydrogenation of internal olefins at 30°C under an atmospheric hydrogen pressure.
