Rhodium complexes containing O-bonded NHxMe2-xCHO (x=0, 1, 2) : X-ray structure of Rh(PPh3)(3)(OCHNHMe) CIO4

• Displacement of norbornadiene (nbd; bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene) from [Rh(PPh3)(2)(nbd)]ClO4 by hydrogenation in the presence of PPh3 and formamide or Me-substituted derivatives, results in the formation of O-bonded formamide complexes [Rh(PPh3)(3)(OCHNHxMe2-x)]ClO4 (x=0, 1, 2) rather than N-bonded derivatives. These have been characterised by spectroscopic measurements and, in the case of [Rh(PPh3)(3)(OCHNHMe)]ClO4, by X-ray crystallography. All undergo oxidative addition with H-2, and the rates of ligand exchange in the Rh-I and Rh-III complexes have been determined by magnetisation-transfer measurements.
