Bonding mode of a new bis-phosphine-borane alkyl ligand to a Rh(I) species

Matthias Blug, Dan Grünstein, Gilles Alcaraz, Sylviane Sabo-Etienne, Xavier-Frederic Le Goff, Pascal Le Floch and Nicolas Mézailles

The stoichiometric reaction of [Rh(COD)Cl]2 with the anion resulting from the deprotonation of dppm(BH3)2 yielded a new alkyl Rh(I) complex; the coordination modes of the BH3 groups are discussed on the basis of X-ray data, variable temperature multinuclear NMR experiments and DFT studies.
