This work describes the reactivity of the SPS-type pincer-based RhI complex 4 toward CO, O2, CO2, Cs2, and SO2 to afford the corresponding RhI or RhIII adducts. The SPS ligand is able to adopt a facial coordination mode in these trigonal-bipyramidal complexes. Differentiation of the two faces of the square-planar RhI complex 4 could be rationalized by a mechanical effect due to the rigidity of the central phosphinine backbone.
