Abstract
Despite advances in the synthesis of polysubstituted cyclopentadienyl metal complexes, the rapid access to a library of monosubstituted Cp bearing metal complexes remains challenging. A convenient and general method to access a broad range of monosubstituted cyclopentadienyl rhodium(I) and iridium(I) complexes is reported. The process involves a direct nucleo-metalation of fulvenes with widely available metal precursors, affording a set of CpRhI(olefin)2 and CpIrI(olefin)2 complexes in high yields. A broad range of oxygen-, nitrogen-, and carbon-based nucleophiles were found competent for the process and offer good tuning abilities of the cyclopentadienyl portion.
