C–C complexes of rhodium

چکیده
In this article, the complexes [Rh(Binor-S )(PR3)][BAr4] (R iPr, Cy, C5H9) are described. A combination of x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, density functional theory, and ‘‘atoms in molecules’’ calculations unequivocally demonstrates that the complexes contain rare examples of metal C–C agostic interactions. Moreover, they are fluxional on the NMR time scale, undergoing rapid and reversible C–C activation. Kinetic data and calculations point to a bismetallacyclobutane, Rh(V), intermediate.

Terminal phosphanido rhodium complexes mediating catalytic P-P and P-C bond formation.
Complexes with terminal phosphanido (M-PR2) functionalities are believed to be crucial intermediates in new catalytic processes involving the formation of P-P and P-C bonds. We showcase here the isolation and characterization of mononuclear phosphanide rhodium complexes ([RhTp(H)(PR2)L]) that result from the oxidative addition of secondary phosphanes, a reaction that was also explored computati...
متن کاملPseudotetrahedral rhodium(I) complexes.
A combination of four-electron donors, such as alkynes, with strongly donating and strong-field scorpionate ligands is appropriate to create pseudotetrahedral rhodium(I) environments, as found in [Rh(PhBP3 )(HCCPh)], which promotes HC bond activation and CC coupling reactions under very smooth conditions.

Using tetradentate, dianionic ligands, several new rhodium complexes have been prepared. Some of these diamine-bis(phenolate) compounds, are active for C-H activation of benzene. These complexes are air and thermally stable. All four complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction.
متن کاملEnantioselective Synthesis of Spiroindenes by Enol-Directed Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization and Spiroannulation
Chiral cyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes promote highly enantioselective enol-directed C(sp(2))-H functionalization and oxidative annulation with alkynes to give spiroindenes containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. High selectivity between two possible directing groups, as well as control of the direction of rotation in the isomerization of an O-bound rhodium enolate into the C-bound i...
متن کاملBright orange/red-emitting rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes: tridentate N^C^N-cyclometallating ligands lead to high luminescence efficiencies.
Rhodium(III) complexes rarely display strong phosphorescence, in contrast to well-known iridium(III) complexes with cyclometallating ligands. This study shows how 1,3-bis(1-isoquinolyl)benzene cyclometallates to Rh(III) through N^C^N-coordination to give complexes with unprecedented phosphorescence quantum yields at room temperature. Their highly emissive Ir(III) analogues are also described.
