“…The rhodium–tin distances in complex 1 can be compared with Rh–Sn bond lengths in the literature ,,,,,− Furthermore the heteroborate bridging ligand in compound 1 exhibits a smaller Rh–Sn–Rh bond angle of 60.43° in comparison to the edge-bridging Ph 2 Sn ligand (average 66.95°) in the cluster [Rh 3 (CO) 6 (μ-SnPh 2 ) 3 (SnPh 3 ) 3 ] . Therefore the Rh–Rh bond lengths in this trinuclear cluster (2.91–2.95 Å) are also longer in comparison to the dimer 1 .…”

“…The coordination chemistry of tin is an attractive field of research . Many research goups have synthesized new tin ligands and studied the reactivity and structures of the transition metal tin complexes. − Stannylenes such as bis(dialkylamino)tin or dialkyltin , derivatives are prominent ligands. Novel chelating ligands with two tin donor sites were designed in recent years .…”

“…The Rh–C distance is also longer than the Rh–C bond found in complex 1 , which can be explained by the stronger trans influence of the trichlorostannate in comparison to the chloride ligand . The Rh–Sn bond length of 2.55873(6) Å lies in the range of Rh–SnCl 3 derivatives reported earlier. − Coordination of the pyridine ligand at Rh(III) in complex 3 exhibits a typical Rh–N bond length of 2.221(5) Å, indicating trans coordination to a ligand with a strong trans influence. , The hydride ligand was placed in a calculated position and refined with a fixed geometry.…”
Starting
from commercially available 4,4′-di-tert-butyldiphenylmethane
the pincer ligand bis(4-tert-butyl-2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)methane
(PCP) was
prepared in two steps in moderate yield. Treatment of a solution of
RhCl3·3H2O in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol
and toluene with equimolar amounts of PCP gave the dimeric
rhodium complex 1. In an electrophilic metalation a facially
coordinated pincer complex is formed. When PCP is treated
with [CODRhCl]2 in a solution of pyridine, the square-pyramidal
complex 2 is generated where the bis-phosphine PCP acts as bidentate ligand that coordinates in a cis fashion.
SnCl2 inserts into the Rh–Cl bond of 2, which results in an oxidative addition of one of the methylene
C–H bonds to form the Rh(III) complex 3, where
the PCP ligand coordinates in a meridional way. A 2 equiv
portion of PCP reacts with 1 equiv of [CODRhCl]2 in the presence of the electron-donating ligands HPhPC6H4NMe2, PPh2Py, and PPh3, respectively, as well as with stanna- and germa-closo-dodecaborate to give the octahedral Rh(III) complexes 4–8. Attempts to remove the HCl with KOtBu from complexes 4–6 produces the
planar Rh(I) compounds 9 and 10. No carbene
formation has been observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
