✦ Synopsis
Stepwise introduction of the potential tripod ligands tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate (Tp*) and tris(1cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl)phosphane into the coordination sphere of rhodium(I) leads mainly to [Tp*Rh{P(C 7 H 7 ) 3 }] (4), in which Tp* is linked to the rhodium through a single pyrazolyl group and a non-linear B±H±Rh bridge. This is the novel, now firmly established coordination mode j 2 (N,B±H). The phosphane ligand is coordinated through one Rh±P and two Rh-olefin bonds. Important structural features determined for the crystalline state of 4 are retained in solution, as shown by the 1 H, 11 B, 13 C, 31 P and 103 Rh NMR spectra.
