Abstract

D ep a rtm en t o f Inorganic C h em istry, C ath olic U niversity, T oern ooiveld, N ijm egen (The N etherlands) (R eceived O ctober 2 5th , 1 9 7 3) Summary Solutions o f RhCl(PCy3)2 react w ith 0 2, N 2, C2H4, CO and H2 to give trans-RhClA(PCy3)2 (A = 0 2, N 2, C2H4 and CO, Cy = cy clo h ex y l) and RhClH2(PCy3)2 ; the spontaneous form ation o f the rather air-stable RhCl(PCy3)2N 2 is ascribed to a com bination o f the steric requirem ents and electronic properties o f th e phosphine ligand.

Structure and Reactivity of Dinitrogen Rhodium Complexes Containing N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

“…Some of these previously reported structures are analogous to the one which we report here, having the general formula trans-[L 2 Rh(N 2 )X] (X = halogen or hydrogen), where in our case L is the NHC IPr. When L = PiPr 3 [28,29] or PCy 3 [30,31] and X = Cl, the reported structures have nearly identical ν(N-N) stretches to those found in this investigation (2100 and 2103 cm -1 , respectively). In the case of the PiPr 3 complex, the Rh-N and N-N bond lengths [1.885(4) and 0.958 (5)] are similarly reasonably close to those observed by us for compound 2.…”

Late Metal Scaffolds that Activate Both, Dinitrogen and Reduced Dinitrogen Species NxHy

“…There are only a few examples of cobalt, [111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128] , rhodium, [129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138] and iridium [139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149] dinitrogen complexes, mostly revealing N-N bond activation only to a small extent, and there is no system that supports the binding of various N x H y z-species at one scaffold. -), into neutral and dianionic dinitrogen adducts of Co (Scheme 11).…”

Recent Advances on Chemo-, Regio- and Stereoselective Hydroformylation

“…[68][69][70] Thus, bulky phosphite ligands induce low coordination numbers which may account for the high reactivity observed towards hydroformylation of internal and terminal alkenes. 71,72 Unfortunately, a technical application of phosphites is hampered so far, since these ligands suffer from an inherent lability towards hydrolysis and a tendency to undergo degradation reactions. The catalytic activity of the monophosphabenzene rhodium catalyst for the hydroformylation of internal olefins was tested with cyclohexene as a model substrate.…”
