The reaction of [RhCl(CS)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] with excess catecholborane affords the cumulenic carbido complex [Rh 2 (μ-C)Cl 2 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] which undergoes phosphine and halide substitution to afford a range of complexes in which the Rh&z.dbd;C&z.dbd;Rh spine remains intact. Amongst these, the react...

Description
Summary:The reaction of [RhCl(CS)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] with excess catecholborane affords the cumulenic carbido complex [Rh 2 (μ-C)Cl 2 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] which undergoes phosphine and halide substitution to afford a range of complexes in which the Rh&z.dbd;C&z.dbd;Rh spine remains intact. Amongst these, the reactions with K[L] (L = H 2 B(pz) 2 , H 2 B(pzMe 2 ) 2 , HB(pz) 3 ; pz = pyrazol-1-yl) afford [Rh 2 (μ-C)(PPh 3 ) 2 (L) 2 ] whilst with K[HB(pzMe 2 ) 3 ] the unsymmetrical complex [Rh 2 H(μ-C)(μ-C 6 H 4 PPh 2 -2){HB(pzMe 2 ) 3 } 2 ] is obtained in which the carbido ligand spans d 6 -Rh( iii ) and d 8 -Rh( i ) centres. The reaction of [RhCl(CS)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] with excess catecholborane affords the cumulenic carbido complex [Rh 2 (μ-C)Cl 2 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] which undergoes phosphine and halide substitution to afford a range of complexes in which the Rh&z.dbd;C&z.dbd;Rh spine remains intact.
