A series of rhodium(I)-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (trz) complexes are described, containing either a novel triarylated trz ligand A′ (N1, N3-arylated, C4-ferrocenyl) {complexes 1, [Rh(A′)Cl(cod)]; 4, [Rh(A′)Cl(CO) 2 ]}, or N3-alkylated triazolylidenes with a C4-ferrocenyl {2, [Rh(B′)Cl(cod)]; 5, [Rh(B′)Cl(CO) 2 ]} or C4-phenyl substituent {3, [Rh(C′)Cl(cod)]; 6, [Rh(C′)Cl(CO) 2 ]}. The free mesoionic carbene (MIC) A′ is structurally characterized and its electronic properties evaluated by employing the [a] 1227 Scheme 1. Synthesis of tri -(1, 4) and diarylated (2, 3, 5 and 6) triazolylidene-Rh I complexes.Scheme 2. Synthesis of free carbene A′ and Pd II complex 7. Crystal Structure Determination: Single crystal X-ray diffraction data for A, A ox , 1, 2 and 4 were collected with a Bruker Apex II-CCD detector using Mo-K α radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å), while for A′ Eur.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
