Abstract
The rhodium bis(boryl) complex [RhCl(PPh(3))(2){B(cat)}(2)] (cat = 1,2 -O2C6H4) reacts with the diborane(4) compounds B-2(O(2)R)(2){O(2)R = 1 ,2-O(2)C(6)H(3)Me-4, 1,2-O(2)C(6)H(2)Bu(2)(t)-3,5 and dimethyl-L-tartr ate [OCH(CO(2)Me)CH(CO(2)Me)O]} affording unsymmetrical metal bis(bory ls) [RhCl(PPh(3))(2){B(cat)}-{B(O(2)R)}] and diborane(4) compounds (ca t)B-B(O(2)R), one possible mechanism for which involves sigma-bond met athesis.
