Synthesis and ligand exchange studies of fluorophosphine–rhodium complexes
Abstract
Convenient syntheses and interconversions of fluorophosphine complexes of rhodium of the type (a) L2RhCOCl, (b) L3RhCl, (c)[L2RhCl]2, and (d) L(Ph3P)2RhCl [L = fluorophosphine] are described: 19F n.m.r. studies establish the trans-stereochemistry of (a) and (d) and in the latter case provide evidence for exchange of both types of phosphine co-ordinated to the metal.
