Abstract

A neutral complex PN³P-Rh(I)Cl (2) was prepared from a reaction of the PN³P pincer ligand (1) with [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). Upon treatment with a suitable base, H–H and C_sp²–H activation reactions can be achieved through the deprotonation/reprotonation of one of the N–H arms and dearomatization/rearomatization of the central pyridine ring with the oxidation state of Rh remaining I.
