Modulation of σ-alkane interactions in [Rh(L2)(alkane)]+ Solid-State Molecular Organometallic (SMOM) systems by variation of the chelating phosphine and alkane: Access to η2,η2-σ-alkane Rh(I), η1-σ-alkane Rh(III) complexes, and alkane encapsulation

Solid/gas Single–Crystal to Single–Crystal (SC–SC) hydrogenation of appropriate diene precursors forms the corresponding σ–alkane complexes [Rh(Cy2P(CH2)nPCy2)(L)][BArF4] (n = 3, 4) and [RhH(Cy2P(CH2)2(CH)(CH2)2PCy2)(L)][BArF4] (n = 5, L = norbornane, NBA; cyclooctane, COA). Their struc-tures, as de...
