Abstract: All structural geometries of intermediates, transition states and product are optimized at HF/LANL2DZlevel under the effective core potential approximation. The potential energy profile for some elementary reactions of hydroformylation catalyzed by Co 2(CO)6(PH3)2, consisting of carbonyl insertion, H2 oxidative addition and aldehyde reductive elimination, are calculated. The transition states are further confirmed by having one and only one imaginary vibrational frequency. The activation energies of carbonyl insertion, H2 oxidative addition and aldehyde reductive elimination are 54.02, 134.02 and 43.44 kJ/mol, respectively.
