Activation of water. 3. Oxidative addition of water to rhodium(I) hydrido compounds and application as catalyst for deuteration of aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen with D2O

Competitive O–H and C–H oxidative addition of CH3OH to rhodium(ii) porphyrins

“…[5][6][7] Oxidative addition of -O-H fragments is relatively unusual with only a few examples of late 2nd and 3rd transition metal complexes that give this type of reactivity with alcohols 1,8-12 and water. 1,[13][14][15][16][17] We have recently reported that water oxidatively adds to a rhodium(II) complex of persulfonated tetramesitylporphyrin ((TMPS)Rh II ? ) in water to form equal quantities of hydride ((TMPS)Rh-H) and hydroxide ((TMPS)Rh-OH) complexes.…”

Rhodium‐ and ruthenium‐catalysed hydrogen isotope exchange

“…The complexes RhH[P( i Pr) 3 ] 3 and Rh 2 H 2 ( µ N 2 )[P(Cy) 3 )] 4 were reported by Otsuka8 to promote deuterium exchange in pyridine and simple mono‐substituted aromatics as shown in Figure 7.…”

Activation of water by permethyltungstenocene; evidence for the oxidative addition of water

“…Oxidative addition is a potentially important reaction for the activation of water in solar energy conversion schemes and in other homogeneous catalytic cycles involving water. [1][2][3] Here, we report the oxidative addition of water to [W(h 5 -C 5 Me 5 ) 2 ] and, by analogy, to [Mo(h 5 -C 5 H 5 ) 2 ]. Oxidative addition reactions of water are uncommon for both thermodynamic and kinetic reasons.…”
