Abstract

Reaction of the aryl-monophosphine ligand α²- (diisopropylphosphino)isodurene (1) with the Rh^I precursor [Rh(coe)₂(acetone)₂]BF₄ (coe = cyclooctene) in different solvents yielded complexes of all three common oxidation states of rhodium, depending on the solvent used. When the reaction was carried out in methanol a cyclometalated, solvent-stabilized Rh^IIIalkylhydride complex (2) was obtained. However, when the reaction was carried out in acetone or dichloromethane a dinuclear η⁶-arene Rh^II complex (5) was obtained in the absence of addedredox reagents. Moreover, when acetonitrile was added to a solution of either the Rh^II or Rh ^III complexes, a new solvent-stabilized, noncyclometalated Rh ^I complex (6) was obtained. In this report we describe the different complexes, which were fully characterized, and probe the processes behind the remarkable solvent effect observed.
