ligands and metals in the catalyst synthesis can rapidly provide a
variety of structurally complex and catalytically active early-late
transition metal complexes of interest.

12 Variation of ligand stoichiometry indicates that 3:1:1 ligand:Rh:Ti is
optimal: lower amounts of added ligand (2 eq.) lead to the formation of
multiple metal species (detected by 31P{1H} NMR), while higher
stoichiometry (4.5 eq.) leads to rapid precipitation of catalytically
inactive, Rh-containing solids.
13 When the oily solid is redissolved in CD2Cl2, the doublet at 18.19 ppm
in the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum is replaced by a singlet at 30.72 ppm
(Supporting Information). The resulting yellowish solution does not
show hydroacylation reactivity with 1.
