A series of carbene complexes RhCl(CR′2)(PR 3)2 (R = Ph, Toi, Me, R′ = Ph and Tol) have been synthesised through direct reaction of photochemically generated free diarylcarbene with RhCl(CO)(PR3)2. This route to carbene complexes demonstrates the reactivity of simple diarylcarbenes towards transition metal complexes. The reactivity of some of these complexes towards H2, C2H4 and Et3SiH has been investigated.
