This complex was prepared similarly to 1a except
that NH4S2P(OEt)2, was used in four equivalents. The
product was recrystallized from hexane in 86% yield.

To a dichloromethane solution (5 ml) of [Cp*Rh{S2-
P(OEt)2}2] (41 mg, 0.068 mmol), a solution of [Cp*Rh-
(m-Cl)Cl]2 (21 mg, 0.034 mmol) in dichloromethane was
added with stirring, which was continued for 30 min.
The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give 1a in
quantitative yield as characterized by microanalysis,
1H- and 31P-NMR data.
3.3. Preparation of [Cp*Rh{S2P(OEt)2}-
(PPh3)][SO3CF3] (3a)
To an acetone solution (5 ml) of AgSO3CF3 (40 mg,
0.15 mmol), a solution of [Cp*RhCl{S2P(OEt)2}] (70
mg, 0.15 mmol) in acetone was added with stirring for
15 min, during which time AgCl precipitated out. To
this, solid triphenylphosphine (42 mg, 0.16 mmol) was
added. The colour of the solution changed immediately
to golden-yellow. The stirring continued further at
room temperature for 4 h. The solution was centrifuged
and filtered to remove AgCl. The filtrate was concen-
trated in vacuum to give an orange paste which on
scratching in hexane (2–3 times) gave orange powder
(90 mg, 71%). M.p. 180°C. Found: C, 47.4; H, 4.9.

4. Crystallography
X-ray data on maroon crystals of [Cp*RhCl-
{S2P(OEt)2}] (1a) were collected at 294 K on an Enraf–
Nonius CAD-4 diffractometer using graphite mono-
,
chromated Mo–Ka radiation (u=0.71073 A) employ-
ing the ꢀ−2q scan technique. The unit cell parameters
were determined from 25 reflections measured by ran-
dom search routine and indexed by the method of short
vectors followed by least-squares refinement. The inten-
sity data were corrected for Lorentz-polarization and
absorption effects. The structure was solved using
SHELXS 86 [27] and refined using SHELXL 93 [28] com-
puter programs. The non-hydrogen atoms were refined
anisotropically and are shown in Fig. 2. Crystallo-
graphic data together with data collection details are
given in Table 2. Positional parameters are given in
Table 3. An ORTEP drawing [29] of 1a is shown in Fig.
