| Abstract: | [Cp*Rh(κ3N,N′,P- L )][SbF6] (Cp*=C5Me5), bearing a guanidine-derived phosphano ligand L , behaves as a “dormant” frustrated Lewis pair and activates H2 and H2O in a reversible manner. When D2O is employed, a facile H/D exchange at the Cp* ring takes place through sequential C(sp3)−H bond activation. |
