The site-selective modification of peptides containing dehydroalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan residues has been achieved using rhodium catalysed conjugate additions or palladium catalysed aryl-amination and -etherification reactions.

Facile, metal-mediated, (acceptorless) dehydrogenation of tricyclopentyl phosphine directly affords rhodium chelating phosphine-olefin complexes, some of which are catalytically active for 1,4-additions.

The rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric hydroalkoxylation and hydrosulfenylation of diphenylphosphinylallenes gave chiral allylic phosphine oxides substituted with vinyl ether and thioether moieties in high yields with high enantioselectivities.

Optical detection of parts-per-million (ppm) levels of CO by a structurally well-defined monolayer consisting of bimetallic rhodium complexes on glass substrates has been demonstrated.

The first successful asymmetric transfer of rhodium-alkynyl species to symmetrical strained alkenes has been realized starting from bicyclic hydrazines and alkynylboronic esters.

A novel rhodium-catalyzed oxidative decarbonylative homocoupling of aromatic aldehydes to generate biaryls and diarylketones selectively and efficiently, triggered by the choice of different phosphine ligands.

which is valid for any complex s, it follows that ζ(s) has zeros at s = −2,−4, . . . . These zeros are traditionally called the “trivial” zeros of ζ(s), to distinguish them from the complex zeros of ζ(s), of which the smallest ones (in absolute value) are 12 ± 14.134725 . . . i. It is well-known that all complex zeros of ζ(s) lie in the so-called “critical strip” 0 < σ = Re s < 1, and the Riema...

Simple chlorodiisopropylphosphine adducts of rhodium, either pre-formed or formed in situ, prove to be highly effective catalysts for the ortho-arylation of phenols.

Rhodium-bound nitrenoids are trapped by tethered allenes generating acyloxy-enamines, aminocyclopropanes, and methylene aziridines. The aminocyclopropanes undergo substitution of the acetoxy group by a variety of nucleophiles.
