The complexes [(η5-Me5C5)Ru(R3P) 2(NCCH3)]+ PF6-, where R3P is vinyldiphenylphosphine and allyldiphenylphosphine, readily dissociate CH3CN to form η3-phosphaallyl and η3-homophosphaallyl complexes (1 and 2) respectively. While 1 is conformationally rigid in solution, 2 undergoes inversion by a dissociative process in solution. The analogous complex [(η5-Me5C5)Rh(Ph2PCHCH 2)2Cl]+ PF6- undergoes a novel Michael type addition of the methyl CH bonds across the vinyl functionalities of the coordinated phosphine to produce chelating 1,2- and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphinopropyl) trimethylcyclopentadienides (3 and 4) respectively. In contrast, with Ph2PCH2CHCH2 the classical phosphine complex [(η5-Me5C5)Rh(Ph2PCH 2CHCH2)2Cl]+ PF6- (5) is formed. These new complexes have been characterized by a variety of NMR techniques and by single crystal X-ray crystallography.
