Basische metalle : XXXVI. Die synthese stabiler hydrido(olefin)rhodium-komplexe und von[C5H5Rh(PMe3)(η3-CH3CHC6H5)]PF6

The complexes C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)C₂H₃R′ (R′  H, Me, Ph) and C₅H₅Rh(PR₃)C₂H₄(PR₃  PMe₂Ph, PPrⁱ₃) are prepared by reaction of[PMe₃(C₂H₃R/t')RhCl]₂ or [PR₃(C₂H₄)RhCl]₂ and TlC₅H₅, respectively. They react with HBF₄ in ether/propionic anhydride to form the BF₄ salts of the hydrido(olefin)rhodium cations [C₅H₅RhH(C₂H₃R′)PR₃]⁺(R  Me; R′  H, Me and R  Prⁱ; R′  H). From C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)C₂H₃Ph and CF₃COOH/NH₄PF₆ the η³-benzyl complex [C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)(η³-CH₃CHC₆H₅)]PF₆ is obtained. The reversibility of the protonation reactions is demonstrated by temperature-dependent NMR spectra and by deuteration experiments. The complexes C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)C₂H₃R′ (R′  H, Ph) and C₅H₅Rh(PMe₂Ph)C₂H₄ react with CH₃I in ether to give the salts [C₅H₅RhCH₃(C₂H₃R′)PR₃]I which in THF or CH₃NO₂ yield the neutral compounds C₅H₅RhCH₃(PR₃)I.
