Abstract
Photochemical activation of [(PNNH)Rh(N3)] (PNNH = 6-di-(tert-butyl)phosphinomethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) complex 2 produced the paramagnetic (S = 1/2), [(PNN)Rh=N(·)-Rh(PNN)] complex 3 (PNN(-) = methylene-deprotonated PNNH), which could be crystallographically characterized. Spectroscopic investigation of 3 indicates a predominant nitridyl radical ((·)N(2-)) character, which was confirmed computationally. Complex 3 reacts selectively with CO, producing two equivalents of [(PNN)Rh(I)(CO)] complex 4, presumably by nitridyl radical N,N-coupling.Entities:
