Abstract
The mononuclear cationic RhI complexes [Rh(cod)(mdd)] +X- and [Rh(CO)2(mdd)]+X - (X = BPh4, PF6) containing the chelating bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand 1,1′-methylene - 3,3′-dimethyldiimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene (mdd) have been synthesised and spectroscopically characterised. The complexes [Rh(cod)(mdd)]+BPh4 - and [Rh(CO) 2(mdd)]+PF6 - have also been characterised by X-ray crystallography. The dicarbonyl complexes catalyse the intramolecular hydroamination of 4-pentyn-1-amine to 2-methyl-1-pyrroline. (
