Synthesis of heptamethylindenyl rhodium(III) complexes: molecular structures of 5-C9Me7)RhCl(μ-Cl)>2 and 5-C9Me7)Rh(PMe2Ph)Cl2>

The synthesis of a series of permethylindenyl (Ind*) rhodium(III) complexes, 5-C9Me7)RhCl(μ-Cl)>2, 5-C9Me7)RhLCl2> (L=PMe3, PMe2Ph, PPh3), and 5-C9Me7)Rh(PMe3)2Cl>+Cl-, is reported.The structure of 5-C9Me7)RhCl(μ-Cl)>2 (4) was determined, confirming the dimeric nature of the compound.Ruby red crystals of 4 are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with four molecules per unit cell of dimensions a=18.598(5), b=10.520(3), c=17.376(3) Angstroem and β=115.10(2) deg.The indenyl rings exhibit minimal distortion from perfect η5 coordination to the Rh centers.A single crystal X-ray structure determination of 5-C9Me7)Rh(PMe2Ph)Cl2> (6) indicates a more distorted η5-coordination of the indenyl ligand, with the auxiliary ligand having the greatest trans influence, namely, the PMe2Ph group, being trans to the indenyl ring junction C-C bond.Yellow prismatic crystals of 6 are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with four molecules per unit cell of dimensions a=8.819(1), b=15.303(3), c=17.296(3) Angstroem.Key words: rhodium, indenyl, permethylindenyl, heptamethylindenyl, phosphine complex, X-ray structure.
