MECHANISM OF FORMATION OF PEROXOCARBONATES RHOOC(O)O(CL)(P)(3) AND THEIR REACTIVITY AS OXYGEN-TRANSFER AGENTS MIMICKING MONOOXYGENASES - THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF CO2 INSERTION INTO THE O-O BOND OF RH(ETA(2)-O-2) COMPLEXES
M. Aresta et al., MECHANISM OF FORMATION OF PEROXOCARBONATES RHOOC(O)O(CL)(P)(3) AND THEIR REACTIVITY AS OXYGEN-TRANSFER AGENTS MIMICKING MONOOXYGENASES - THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF CO2 INSERTION INTO THE O-O BOND OF RH(ETA(2)-O-2) COMPLEXES, Inorganic chemistry, 35(14), 1996, pp. 4254-4260
Extended labeling experiments have shown that formation of rhodium per
oxocarbonate from CO2 and [RhCl(eta(2)-O-2)(P)(3)] (P is PEt(2)Ph or P
EtPh(2)) proceeds through O-O bond cleavage and CO2 insertion. O-trans
fer to ancillary phosphine ligand to give R(3)P=O selectively (>85%) i
nvolves the Ph-linked O atom of the peroxo group of RhCl(CO4)(P)(3).
