The analogous reaction of 1 with dimethylphenylphosphine follows a similar pathway; in this case, however, low temperature NMR spectra allowed us to characterize the pentacoordinated dinuclear species [{Rh(CO)2(μ-Cl)}2] (2b) as the unstable intermediate of the bridge-splitting process.
The reaction of 3 with a second equivalent of phosphine (P : Rh = 2) leads, at room temperature, to the well known product trans-[Rh(CO)(PR3)2Cl] (8) accompanied by evolution of CO; however our data show that when the reaction is performed at 200 K, decarbonylation is prevented and spectroscopic evidence of trigonal bipyramidal pentacoordinate [Rh(CO)2(PR3)2Cl] (7), stable only at low temperature, can be obtained. 相似文献
