Trialkylsilyl(hydrido)(ethylene)pentamethylcyclopentadienylrhodium(III) complexes
Abstract
The equilibria [(C5Me5)Rh(H)2(SiEt3)2]+ C2H4⇌ HSiEt3+[(C5Me5)Rh(H)(SiEt3)(C2H4)], and [(C5Me5)Rh(H)(SiEt3)(C2H4)]+ C2H4⇌ HSiEt3+[(C5Me5)Rh(C2H4)2], can be induced either thermally or photochemically starting from either side.
