Abstract
Group IX element Rh(I) was shown to be able to transfer N-heterocyclic carbenes. The dimerization process of RhCl(CO)2(NHC) to [RhCl(CO)(NHQ]2, followed by a rearrangement step to transRhCl(CO)(NHC)2, is one possible mechanism for the loss of activity of Rh(I) species in various catalytic reactions. Utilizing this methodology symmetrical and asymmetrical trans-RhCl(CO)(NHC)(NHC) complexes were synthesized and characterized.
