Abstract

Abstract The complexes [(LL) Rh (C 2 H 4) Cl] x (I),[(LL)(Rh (cod) Cl) 2](II),[(MeLL) Rh (C 2 H 4) 2 Cl](III) and [(MeLL) Rh (cod)]+ Cl−(IV) have been prepared via the reactions of the bis- (pyrazolyl) phenylmethane ligands PhCH (H 2 pz) 2 (LL; H 2 pz= pyrazolyl) and PhCH (Me 2 pz) 2 (MeLL; Me 2 pz= 3, 5-dimethylpyrazolyl) with [Rh (C 2 H 4) 2 Cl] 2 and [Rh (cod) Cl] 2 (cod= cyclooctadiene). Complex IV reacts with NaBPh 4 to form [(MeLL) Rh (cod)]+ BPh 4 ...
