description

Abstract In this paper we report the preparation of new orthometalated rhodium(III) compounds of the formula Rh(oq)(AB)(PC), from Rh(oq)(Br)(PC)(H20), AB being a bidentade anionic ligand, oq= 8-oxyquinolate and PC = P(o-C6F4)Ph2. Their redox behaviour is also described. The reaction of Rh(Oq)(Br)(PC)(H20) [Oq = 5-Me-8-oxyquinolate (5-Meoq), 8-oxyquinolate] with carbon monoxide under pressure leads to expansion of the metalocycle ring by CO insertion into the Rh-C bond.
