| Description: |
AbstractThe preparation of a series of rhodium(I) complexes coordinated by various electronically tuneable Fischer carbene (FC) ligands, is reported. The Rh(I) metal complexes’ electronic properties could readily be modulated by variation of a p-N,N-dimethylaniline moiety with a ruthenocenyl substituent, or alternatively, substituting the carbene O-heteroatom for an amino-group. The electronic properties of the complexes were evaluated, and it was determined from the Tolman electronic parameters that the donor-ability of the FC ligands are comparable to N-heterocyclic carbenes. Furthermore, the facile control of the electronic properties of the complexes was demonstrated by mild oxidation of a ferrocenyl aminocarbene rhodium(I) complex, yielding the corresponding ferrocenium rhodium(I) complex cation. Finally, the complexes were evaluated as catalyst precursors for the hydroformylation of 1-octene. see all
