The vinylidene rhodium complex CsH@ ( =C=CH jPiPr3 (1) reacts with C&6Cr(COh upon UV irradiation and with C5HsMn- During our investigations on electron-rich half-sandwich type compounds C5H5MLL' (M = Co, Rh, Ir; L and L' = two-electron donor ligands) we previously observed that the reaction of trans-[RhCl(RC =CH)L2] (L = PiPr3) with NaC5H5 not only leads to the formation of the expected alkyne complexes C5H5Rh(RC = CH)L but also to that of the unexpected vinylidene isomers C5H5Rh( = C = CHR)LZv3). These compounds reveal a remarkable reactivity towards electrophilic substrates as is illustrated with CH2N2, the chalcogens4), and CuC15) as examples in Scheme 1.As a continuation of these studies, we were interested to learn whether not only CuCl but also other metal-contain- -19).

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.
