A facile synthesis of rhodium(III) porphyrin–silyls
摘要:
Rhodium(III) porphyrin-silyls [Me3SiRhT(p-X)PP (X = H, Me)] were synthesized from the reactions of the rhodium(I) porphyrin anions, generated from the reduction of the rhodium(III) porphyrin chlorides with the sodium amalgam in toluene, with degassed Me3SiCl at room temperature. A single crystal structure of (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato)(trimethylsilyl)rhodium(III) (1) showed that the Rh-si bond length is equal to 2.305 Angstrom. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
