Abstract

The synthesis of rhodium complexes with weakly binding highly fluorinated benzene ligands is described: 1,2,3-F₃C₆H₃, 1,2,3,4-F₄C₆H₂ and 1,2,3,4,5-F₅C₆H are shown to bind with cationic [Rh(Cy₂P(CH₂)_xPCy₂)]⁺ fragments (x=1, 2). Their structures and reactivity with alkenes, and use in catalysis for promoting the Tishchenko reaction of a simple aldehyde, are demonstrated. Key to the synthesis of these complexes is the highly concentrated reaction conditions and use of the [Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄]⁻ anion.
