Carbon Dioxide Activation; Formation of trans-(Ph3P) 2Rh(CO) (OCO2H) in the Reaction of CO2 with HRh(CO) (PPh3) 3/CO.

Abstract

The intermediate produced from the interaction of HRh(CO) (PPh3)3 with CO reacts with CO2 to yield a novel bicarbonate complex, trans-(PPh3) 2Rh(CO) (OCO2H) (I) whose structure has been established X-ray crystallographically. The bicarbonate complex undergoes reversible loss of CO2. Results from the reaction of DRh(CO)(PPh3)3/CO with CO2 are consistent with a mechanism for formation of I involving rhodium-promoted CO2 disproportionation followed by H transfer from Rh to O of coordinated carbonate.
