Rhodium and rhutenium complex with optically active chelate cyclopentadienyl-phosphine bidentate ligands

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1995.833

The first optically active cyclopentadienyl-phosphine bidentate ligands (H ligands) in which a diphenylphosphino group and a cyclopentadienyl or an indenyl group are connected by an L-threitol derivative or an (S,S)-trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane group have been prepared.The rodium and rhutenium complexes of their anions have been prepared and characterized.
