Abstract :
Rh2(cod)2(μ2-dppm)(μ2-Cl)]BF4 (1) rearranges under carbon monoxide to give [Rh3(μ2-dppm)2(μ2-CO)3(K1-CO)3]BF4 (2). Complex 2 has been structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The hydroformylation activities of 1 and 2 were compared for substrates styrene and 1-hexene and the activity of 2 found to be unexpectedly high.
