Abstract
The reaction of Rh6(CO)15MeCN with allyldiphenylphosphine under mild conditions afforded the cluster-containing complex [Rh6(CO)14(μ,η2-PPh2Ch2CH=CH2)]. Its molecular structure was characterized. The resulting complex is an octahedral Rh cluster with ten terminal and four μ3-bridging CO ligands. The average Rh−Rh distance is 2.762(2) Å. The unsaturated ligand is additionally coordinated to the metal center (Rh(4)–C(232), 2.37(1) Å; and Rh(4)–C(233), 2.32(2) Å) to form a π-bond.
