Abstract
Decomposition of [{(C(5)Me(5))Rh(mu-CH2)}(2)(Ph)(CO)](+) (homogeneousl y, under CO) in solution gives PhCH=CH2, PhMe and C6H6, while phenyl ( from Phl) reacts with surface methylene (from CO + H-2) heterogeneousl y over rhodium metal to give PhEt, PhMe and C6H6; it is proposed that the two reactions are also related mechanistically.
