Abstract

trans-R [upper bond 1 start] h(CO)(Cl)(P((CH₂)₁₄)₃P [upper bond 1 end] ) is prepared from trans-Rh(CO)(Cl)(P((CH₂)₆CH [double bond, length as m-dash] CH₂)₃)₂ by a metathesis/hydrogenation sequence, and converted by substitution or addition reactions to Rh(CO)(I), Rh(CO)₂(I), Rh(CO)(NCS), and Rh(CO)(Cl)(Br)(CCl₃) species; the Rh(CO)(Cl) and Rh(CO)(I) moieties rapidly rotate within the cage-like diphosphine, but the other rhodium moieties do not.
