SYNTHESIS AND REACTIONS OF RHODIUM COMPOUNDS CONTAINING TELLURIUM DONOR LIGANDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)83986-8

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a series of rhodium(I) and rhodium(III) complexes containing tellurium-rhodium bonds resulting from the coordination of diorgano telluride or organotelluro ligands.Oxidative addition, metathesis and substitution reactions of these compounds have been examined, and the resulting products are compared with those from the known reactions of rhodium(I) and rhodium(III) compounds containing phosphine ligands.
