“…[Rh(PPh 3 ) 3 Cl], is famous for its catalytic application in bringing about numerous interesting chemical transformations [1], we have found it to be a useful synthon for the preparation of mixed-ligand complexes of various types [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Besides its demonstrated ability to accommodate new ligands, it has also been found to mediate many interesting reactions, such as C-H and C-C bond activation of organic molecules [2,5,9,12], activation of molecular oxygen [13], and transformation of coordinated ligands [5,9,11]. These interesting observations have prompted us to further continue our exploration on reaction of the Wilkinson's catalyst with organic ligands, and the present study has originated from this exploration.…”
