“…The constants of formation of the complexes and ion pair (IP) were estimated: KIP = 8 AE 3.5, K1 E 8, K2trans E 1, K2cis E 1 and K3 E 2. 133 The synthesis and characterisation of a novel bis(phosphine)rhodium(III)-porphyrin, [Rh(TPP)(PEtPh 2 ) 2 ]SbF 6 (compound 1; TPP = dianion of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin) was described. The 103 Rh NMR chemical shifts of 1, determined by indirect detection through polarisation transfer from 31 P, were d = 2480, 2558 and 2590 ppm at 213, 300 and 333 K, respectively.…”
