this is not even a balanced reaction equation, let alone a coherent question. Please elaborate, balance and try again.

In this case Wilkinson’s catalyst (RhP3Cl) is a reagent and not a catalyst. 
Hints:  As with typical mechanisms that involve RhP3Cl there is initial
dissociation to “RhP2Cl” (14 e⁻?) + P.  The C-Cl bond is activated for ox-ad.
One on the products is RhP2(CO)Cl.
