Rhodium(I) complexes of a PBP ambiphilic ligand: Evidence for a metal→borane interaction
Résumé
To and fro: Diphosphanylborane derivative 1 behaves as a tridentate, ambiphilic ligand towards rhodium(I) fragments (see picture). The presence of metal-→borane interactions in the resulting square-pyramidal complexes is highlighted by structural analyses and DFT calculations.
