A Rhodium Complex with One Rh...C-C and One RhHC Agostic Bond

摘要

The metal-mediated activation of carbon-carbon single bonds is the subject of significant contemporary interest,[1] with the putative intermediates in such processes being complexes in which the metal is bound through a CC interaction.[2] Complexes showing such MCC interactions are extremely rare, and are limited to intramolecular (agostic) interactions that have been reported for complexes A-D;[3]-[6]
