Rhodium phosphine olefin complexes of the weakly coordinating anions [BAr4F](-) and [1-closo-CB11H6Br6](-). Kinetic versus thermodynamic factors in anion coordination and complex reactivity

Solution and solid-state structures for the pair of complexes Rh{P(Cyp 2)(η2-C5H7)}{η6- (C6H3(CF3)2)BAr3F} and Rh{P(Cyp2)(η2-C5H 7)}(I-closo-CB11H6Br6), which contain bound weakly coordinating anions, are reported. While thermochemical data show that enthalpically [I-closo-CB11H6Br 6]- binds less st...
