Trimethylphosphine complexes of rhodium(I) and ruthenium(II); X-ray crystal structures of chlorotristrimethylphosphinerhodium and tetrakistrimethylphosphinerhodium chloride
Abstract
The syntheses are reported of the rhodium(I) and ruthenium(II) trimethylphosphine complexes RhCl(PMe3)3, [Rh(PMe3)4]Cl, η5-C5H5Rh(PMe3)2, CHg6Rh4(PMe3)12, trans-RuCl2(PMe3)4, [Ru2Cl2(PMe3)8]Cl2, and [RuCl(PMe3)4]BF4 and of ruthenium(I), Ru2Cl2(PMe3)4; the structures of RhCl(PMe3)3 and [Rh(PMe3)4]Cl have been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.
