Orthometallation Reaction at a Binuclear Pyrazolyl(pz) Bridged Rhodium Compound: Synthesis and Crystal Structure Determination of Rh2(μ-pz)2Br(CO)(pcBr), pcBr = P(o-BrC6F4)Ph2

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39850000043

The complex 2 undergoes orthometallation in refluxing toluene to give a new binuclear compound containing a rhodium-rhodium bond, Rh2(μ-pz)2(μ-pc)Br(CO)(pcBr) , which has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography; the complex has two pyrazolyl groups and one orthometallated phosphine bridging the two inequivalent rhodium atoms, and one phosphine ligand chelating one of the rhodium atoms via P and the bromine atom from the o-bromotetrafluorophenyl group.
