STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF A PARAMAGNETIC ISOCYANIDE COMPLEX OF RHODIUM(II) Academic Article

abstract

• The remarkably stable paramagnetic Rh(II) complex [Rh(3-TMPP)2][BF4]2 (TMPP = tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine) reacts with 2 equiv of tert-butyl isocyanide to yield the air-stable mononuclear Rh(II) complex [Rh(Rh(3-TMPP)2(CNBut)2][BF4]2. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that thecation adopts a distorted-square-planar geometry in which the phosphine ligands are trans rather than cis as in the parent complex. The paramagnetism of this unusual four-coordinate Rh(II) metallo radical was probed by a variety of spectroscopic and magnetic techniques. 1992, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
