“…The m(CO) values of the complexes 1 and 2 are lower relative to the analogous rhodium phosphine complexes like [Rh(CO)Cl(Ph 2 PCH 2 P(O)Ph 2 )], [Rh(CO)Cl(Ph 2 PCH 2 P(S)Ph 2 )], etc. (Table 1) [14][15][16][17]28,[31][32][33][34] indicating the metal center is rich in electron density and hence expected to show high nucleophilicity. Recently, Cole-Hamilton et al [24] reported a few electron rich complexes of the type [Rh(CO)X(PEt 3 ) 2 ] (X = Cl, Br, I) having m(CO) ca.…”
