The reaction of 6 equivalents of GaCp*
(Cp*
= pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with [Cp*RhCl2}2] yields the complex [Cp*Rh(GaCp*)3(Cl)2]
(1) exhibting a cage-like intermetallic RhGa3 center with Ga–Cl–Ga bridges. Treatment of this complex with GaCl3 gives the Lewis acid–base adduct [Cp*Rh(GaCp*)2(GaCl3)]
(2). Reaction of [Cp*RhCl2}2] with understoichiometric amounts of EICp*
(E = Al, Ga, In) leads to a variety of products strongly dependent on the molecular ratio of the reactants. Thus, the reduction of [Cp*RhCl2}2] with one equivalent of EICp*
(E = Al, Ga, In) gives the RhII dimer [Cp*RhCl}2]. The insertion of 3 equivalents of InCp* into the Rh–Cl bonds of [Cp*RhCl2}2] yields the salt [Cp*2Rh]+[Cp*Rh(InCp*)In2Cl4(µ2-Cp*)}]−
(3), the anion exhibiting an intermetallic RhIn3 center with an intramolecularly bridging Cp* ring. The reaction of [Cp*RhCl}2] with Cp*Ga yields various insertion products. In trace amount the “all hydrocarbon” cluster complex [(RhCp*)2(GaCp*)3]
(6) is obtained. The corresponding ethylene containing cluster complex [RhCp(GaCp*)(C2H4)}2]
(7) can be prepared by treatment of [RhCp*(CH3CN)(C2H4)] with GaCp*.

路易斯酸-碱加合物[Cp*Rh(GaCp*)2(GaCl3)](2)。[Cp*RhCl2}2]与不足量的EICp*(E = Al, Ga, In)反应产生多种产品,强烈依赖于反应物的分子比例。因此,用一个当量的EICp*(E = Al, Ga, In)还原[Cp*RhCl2}2]会生成RhII二聚体[ Cp*RhCl}2]。将3当量的InCp*插入[Cp*RhCl2}2]中的Rh–Cl键产生盐[Cp*2Rh]+[Cp*Rh(InCp*)In2Cl4(µ2-Cp*)}]−(3),该阴离子展现出一个
