A new pyridine-bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and its coordination to Rh: Synthesis and characterization
摘要:
The new bis(imidazolylidene) tripodal ligand precursor (2-pyridine)bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)methane diiodide, [H2PYBI-M-ME]I-2, has been obtained by a simple method. The molecular structure of this new ligand precursor has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The coordination of this ligand to Rh, provides a Rh(III) complex with very low solubility in most solvents, which we attributed to the polymeric nature of the species. Solution of this polymer in DMSO provided a biscarbene Rh(III) complex in which the pyridine fragment remained unbound. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
