Jv. Barkley et al., RHODIUM COMPLEXES WITH 1,8-DIAZABICYCLO[5.4.O]UNDEC-7-ENE (DBU) - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF TRANS-[RH(CO)(DBU)(PRH3)(2)]CLO4, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (17), 1995, pp. 2861-2863
Attempts to deprotonate co-ordinated phenylhydrazine in trans-[Rh(CO)(
NH(2)NHPh)(PPh(3))(2)]ClO4, using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4.0]undec-7-ene (
dbu), resulted in the displacement of the co-ordinated hydrazine to gi
ve trans-[Rh(CO)(dbu)(PPh(3))(2)]CIO4 which has been fully characteris
ed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Other r
hodium (I) complexes containing dbu have also been prepared and charac
terised spectroscopically.
