Rhodium pentafluorophenylthiolate complexes derived from

The thiolate bridges of are readily split by a variety of phosphines, phosphites and nitrogen-containing compounds to give , 3>, and , (PR3 = PMe2Ph, PMePh2; P(OR')3 = P(OMe)3, P(OEt)3; L (sterically nonhindering) = pyridine, 3-methylpyridine, isoquinoline, N-methylimidazole, acetonitrile; L' (sterically hindering) = 2-methylpyridine, 2,6-dimethylpyridine, quinoline).With H2 under ambient conditions both and combine reversibly, does not react and 3> (in the presence of free P(OR')3) is converted into 4>. and react with phenylacetylene to give and , respectively, while with C6F5SH forms , and further reaction gives .Although is unreactive towards C6F5SH it combines with PhC2H with loss of C6F5SH yielding .Other reagents which split the bridge are carbon monoxide and t-butyl isocyanide.Products were characterised by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy and in many cases were not isolated.

Steric effects in oxidative addition and reductive elimination reactions of rhodium pentafluorophenylthiolate complexes

The complexes (L=py, 3-Mepy, isoquin, N-MeIm; py=pyridine, 3-Mepy=3-methylpyridine,isoquin=isoquinoline, N-MeIm=N-methylimidazole) readily undergo oxidative addition of HR (R=H, SC6F5, C2Ph) to give (
