The bis(butadiene)rhodium(I) complexes [Rh(s-cis-η4- C4H6)2(PR3)]A readily convert into the isomeric octadienediyl derivatives [Rh(η3:η3-C8H12)(PR3)]A, which are apparently intermediates in the rhodium-catalyzed cyclotetramerization reaction of butadiene. R=iPr, Cy; A=OSO2CF3, B[3,5- (F3C)2C6H3](4); the structure of the complex with iPr and OSO2CF3 is shown.
