Y. Takenaka et K. Osakada, Preparation and structure of [RhCl(nbd)(dmap)] (nbd = bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene; dmap = 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine), B CHEM S J, 73(1), 2000, pp. 129-130
4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)pyridine (dmap) reacts with [{RhCl(nbd)}(2)] to give [
RhCl(nbd)(dmap)] (1), which was characterized by X-ray crystallography and
NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure and dynamic behavior of the molecul
e in solution are compared with those of [RhCl(nbd)(PPh3)] (2).
