Organorhodium complexes of cis- and trans-divinylcyclopropane; the crystal structure of (±)-ZZ-1,2,3-η-5,6,7-η-heptadienediylrhodium(I) hexafluoroacetylacetonate
Abstract
Both cis- and trans-divinylcyclopropane form 1:1 hexafluoroacetylacetonatorhodium(I) complexes; in the former, the integrity of the cyclopropane ring is maintained whilst in the latter it is essentially opened, as shown by a crystal structure determination.
