Abstract

Ligand substitution of PPh₃ for CO in the asymmetric square-planar β-diketonato complex [Rh(PhCOCHCOCH₂CH ₃)(CO)₂] leads to formation of the monosubstituted [Rh(PhCOCHCOCH₂CH₃)(CO)(PPh₃)] product. Two geometrical product isomers are possible, which unexpectedly crystallize in the same crystal lattice. DFT calculations of the substitution reaction support a two-step mechanism, involving temporary dissociation of a β-diketonato ligand and formation of a square-planar intermediate. Analysis of the mechanisms involved in product isomerization suggests several noncatalyzed and solvent-assisted interconversion pathways.
