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 (

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.
