Abstract

The indenyl compound (η5-C9H7) Rh (coe) 2 (1, coe= cis-cyclooctene) has been prepared as a thermally stable alternative to the diethylene derivative (η5-C9H7) Rh (η2-H2CCH2) 2. Compound 1 reacts with unsaturated phosphines Ph2PR (R= CHCH2, 2; CH2CHCH2, 3; and CC-tert-Bu, 4) to give complexes of the type (η5-C9H7) Rh (Ph2PR) 2, where bonding occurs through the phosphorus atom. Addition of Ph2PCCPPh2 to 1 gave the dimer [(η5- ...
