Abstract

A new family of complexes containing bulky pyrazoles substituted in the 3 or the 3 and 5 positions, [RhCl(L 2)(Hpz R′,R″)] (L 2  NBD, 2CO; R′  Bu t, Ph, p-CH 3OC 6H 4 (An), R″  H; R′  Bu t, Ph, R″  CH 3; R′  R″  H, CH 3), has been obtained. A dynamic behaviour has been observed only in complexes with the less demanding pyrazole ligands, relating with a metallotropic equilibrium when R′  R″  H, Me, or a diolefin reorientation when R′  Bu t, Ph, An, R″  H. The X-ray crystal structure of [RhCl(CO) 2(Hpz An)] has been solved, showing a molecular stacking with a RhRh separation of 3.398(3) Å along the one-dimensional chain.
