Linkage isomers of the cyanate group: O-cyanato- and N-cyanato-tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)
Abstract
The first example of solid linkage isomers containing N- and O-bonded cyanate groups is reported with the compounds Rh(PPh3)3NCO and Rh(PPh3)3OCN; the i.r. spectra of the isomers are discussed, and the solvent-dependence of the mode of co-ordination is noted.
