Abstract

The dinuclear cationic μ-hydridorhodium complex [(μ-CO)(μ-H) (η 5-C 5H 5)-Rh(CO) 2]BF 4 has been synthesized in quantitative yield by metal—metal bond protonation of the parent carbonyl compound (μ-CO)[(η 5-C 5H 5)Rh(CO)] 2 with HBF 4/diethyl ether, the complex is characterized by conductivity measurements and IR, 1H NMR and { 1H}- 13 C NMR spectroscopy, rapid deprotonation is effected by sodium methoxide. The C 3υ-isomer of (η 5-C 5H 5) 3Rh 3(CO) 3 is isolated in 92% yield from reaction of the parent compound with HBF 4/H 2O in tetrahydrofuran.
