Abstract
Treatment of dirhodium(II) tetra-acetate Rh2(OAc)4 with HN(Ph2PS)2 in refluxing tetrahydrofuran (THF) yielded a typical mononuclear Rh(III) complex Rh[N(Ph2PS)2] 3 (1). Reaction of Rh2(OAc)4 with HN( iPr2PS)2 in a similar condition resulted in the mixed Rh(III) complexes Rh[N(iPr2PS)2)] 3 (2) in a major product and Rh[N(iPr2PS) 2][κ2S,κC-N(iPr2PS) (iPr(C3H6)PS)] (3) in a minor product, while the similar reaction by use of HN(tBu2PS)2 led to isolation of complex Rh[N(tBu2PS)2] [κ2S,κC-N(tBu2PS)( tBu(C4H8)PS)] (4) as a sole product. Novel C-H bond activation of one methyl group in the ligands [N(R2PS) 2]- (R = iPr, tBu) was observed in complexes 3 and 4, which was further confirmed by the analysis of X-ray crystallography along with other spectroscopic properties.
