The α-amino acidate complex [(η5-C5Me5)Rh(L-alaninate)Cl] (1) reacts with HC≡CR (R = Ph, p-tolyl), in methanol, in the presence of NEt3, to form the new cyclobutadiene compounds [(η5-C5Me5)Rh(η4-C 4HR2C≡CR)] (R = Ph (2a), p-tolyl (2b)) as the major products. The X-ray molecular structure determination of complex 2a has been carried out. The complex exhibits a sandwichlike structure with the rhodium metal located between a η4-phenylethynyl cyclobutadiene ligand and a η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl group. A possible pathway for the formation of 2 from 1 is proposed.
