Abstract
The synthesis of transition-metal complexes ( n5 -C5H3SiMe2)2[Rh(CO)2]2 and ( n5- -C5H3SiMe2)2[Rh(CO)2]2, both featuring the bis( dimethylsilylcyclopentadienyl) ligand, is reported. Preparation of the rhodium complex yielded a cis:trans ratio of 1 :2, while the iridium analogue generated a 2: 1 ratio. Thermal reaction of cis-( n5- - C5H3SiMe2)2[Rh(CO)2]2 yields cis-( n5 -C5H3SiMe2)2Rh2(CO)3, which features an asymmetrically bridging carbonyl ligand. Reaction of I2with cis-( n5- - C5H3SiMe2)2[Ir(CO)2]2 yields cis-( n5 -C5H3SiMe2)2[Ir(CO)I2]2 Synthesis of ( n5- - C5H3SiMe2)2[Ir(cyclooctadiene)h in a cis:trans ratio of 1 :2.5 is also reported.
