A crystallographic and DFT study on Vaska-type trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(PR3)2] complexes containing flexible ligands: The molecular structure of trans-[Rh(CO)Cl{P(OC6H5)3}2]

Synthesis and Structure of Metal Complexes of P-Stereogenic Chiral Phosphiranes: An EDA-NOCV Analysis of the Donor–Acceptor Properties of Phosphirane Ligands

“…The Pd–P and Pd–Cl distances were similar to those in related phosphine complexes; disorder in the allyl group precludes further analysis of Pd–C distances . Despite the large size of the Mes* substituent, the Rh–P distance in the structure of 9 (2.3164(12) Å) was similar to those in analogues with PMe 2 Ph (2.314(2) Å) or PPh 3 ligands (2.322(1) Å), and shorter than in complexes with the bulkier PCy 3 (2.355(3) Å) or P­( t -Bu) 3 (2.427(1) Å) . As often observed in these Rh–Vaska complexes, the Cl and CO ligands were disordered (Figure ).…”
