Dihydrogen loss from a 14-electron rhodium(III) bis-phosphine dihydride to give a rhodium(I) complex that undergoes oxidative addition with aryl chlorides

Dihydrogen loss from the 14-electron Rh(III) bis-phosphine dihydride [Rh(PiBu3)2H2][BArF4] forms a complex tentatively identified as [Rh(PiBu 3)2(L2)][BArF4] (L 2 = solvent or agostic interactions), which reacts with dichloro ethane or fluorobenzene to form [Rh(PiBu3) 2(ClCH2CH2Cl)][BArF4] and [Rh(P...
