Square planar diphosphinoazine rhodium(I) amido carbonyl complexes with an unsymmetrical PNP ' pincer-type coordination

Abstract

A series of novel diphosphinoazine rhodium amido carbonyl complexes [{R2PCH = C(Bu-t)-NN = C(Bu-t) CH2PR2} Rh(CO)] (R = Ph, Pr-i, c-C6H11, Bu-t) was prepared by deprotonation of cationic diphosphinoazine rhodium amino carbonyl complexes.
