The conversion of a divinyldi-μ-methylene-dirhodium complex into a (μ-ethylidene-(μ-methylene-dirhodium complex

Abstract
The dichloro-μ-ethylidene-μ-methylene-dirhodium complex, [(C5Me5Rh)2(μ-CHMe)(μ-CH2)Cl2] (2) was the main product of the reaction of the divinyl-di-μ-methylene-dirhodium complex [(C5Me5Rh-μ-CH2)2(CH=CH2)2] (1), with HCl in toluene at −78 °C. It was identified by an X-ray crystal structure determination and spectroscopically. Keywords: vinyl, μ-methylene, μ-ethylidene, rhodium, X-ray.
