Double Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Transformation and Small-Molecule Activation in Rhodium NHC Complexes

Three gases, one crystal: Rhodium NHC complexes undergo back‐to‐back single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transformations by selective nonreversible ligand exchange reactions (see picture). Slow diffusion of O2 converts a dinitrogen complex into a dioxygen complex, and CO subsequently replaces O2....
