“…With this assumption, we studied the IR and NMR spectra of residues obtained by evaporation of dichloromethane solutions of 2 and 3 after 24 h storage. As expected, the IR spectra of these mixed products (in CH 2 Cl 2 ), alongside with acetyl m(CO) absorption bands of initial 2 and 3 at 1726 and 1728 cm À1 , contained m(CO) bands at 2060 and 2058 cm À1 , respectively, which are characteristic of terminal carbonyl ligands in rhodium(III) complexes [3,5,8,9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]27,28].…”
