Abstract

Common chlorinated solvents (e.g. CH2Cl2 and CHCl3) readily reacted with [Rh2(C8H14)4(µ-Cl)2] (C8H14 = cyclooctene), in the presence of a monodentate, nitrogen donor ligand (L = py or 4-Butpy), to give the oxidative addition product [RhL3RCl2] (R = CH2Cl, CHCl2 or CH2Ph) which for R = CH2Cl and CH2Ph has been shown by X-ray analysis to adopt the mer configuration. NMR Spectroscopic measurements (13C and 15N) in solution were consistent with this configuration, although these NMR data cannot unambiguously distinguish between the mer and fac isomers.
