“…The complexes were characterized spectroscopically. According to HMQC measurements 1 The syntheses as well as reactions of cyclopentadienyl or indenyl rhodium chelate complexes bearing a phosphane tether have been reported by Poilblanc et al, 50 Tani et al, [51][52][53][54][55][56] Nelson et al, 57,58 Saunders et al, [38][39][40][59][60][61] Hidai et al, 62 Jones et al, 63 Green et al, 64 Salzer et al, [65][66][67][68] Cole-Hamilton et al, 69 Lalinde et al, 70 and Whitby et al 71 In most cases the phosphane tether bears phenyl substituents, however, there are also some in which alkyl, pentafluorophenyl or more complicated substituents are present. To our knowledge there are no examples with tert-butyl substituents, which, according to our experience with cobalt complexes, increase the stability of the complexes and improve their crystallization properties.…”
