Abstract
The product of the reaction of (tBu2PCH 2SiMe2)2N- (MgCl+ salt) with [RhCl(cyclooctene)2]2 is a RhIII complex where one tBu methyl C-H bond has oxidatively added to Rh: (PNP*)RhH. This is in rapid exchange among all 9 × 4 C-H bonds of the four tBu groups. (PNP*)RhH undergoes oxidative addition equilibrium with the C-H bonds of benzene at ∼103 s-1 at 25°C and oxidatively adds the ring C-H of other arenes. (PNP*)RhH forms η2-olefin complexes with several olefins and dehydrogenates allylic C-H bonds to form (PNP)Rh(H)2.
