The synthesis of novel N-acetyl-N,N-dipyrid-2-yl complexes of RhI and IrI, i.e. [RhCl(CH3CONPy2)(COD)] (1) and [IrCl(CH3CONPy2)(COD)] (2), respectively, is described. Upon prolonged treatment in CH2Cl2 at room temperature, complex 1 is transformed into a cationic Rh-complex, i.e. [Rh(CH3CONPy2)(COD)+RhCl2(COD)-] (1a). Compound 1a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P over(1, ?). Compound 1 was investigated for its catalytic activity in the hydroformylation of cyclooctene as well as of 1-octene. In addition, 1 was used in various carbonyl hydrosilylation reactions of both aldehydes and ketones. There, turn-over numbers up to 50 000 and yields in the range of 85-100% were observed. Finally, compound 1 was successfully used for the polymerization of N2CHCOOEt yielding highly stereoregular poly(ethoxycarbonylcarbene) with Mw = 67 000 g/mol and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 2.59.
