Abstract:
The photochemical reaction of Tp′Rh(L)(η 2 -PhN=L) [Tp′ = tris-(3,5-dimethyl pyrazolyl)borate, L = CNCH 2 CMe 3 ] to form the coordinatively unsaturated reactive fragment, [Tp′Rh(L)] , in the presence of alkylnitriles has been studied. The [Tp′Rh(L)] complex has been shown to selectively activate the primary C H terminus of acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, and valeronitrile. The resulting hydrides showed uncharacteristic stability in the presence of C 6 D 6 and their rates of reductive elimination were monitored by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Competition reactions permit the establishment of the relative stabilities of the activation products.
