Rhodium(III) alkyls stabilized by a quadridentate Schiff-base ligand

Abstract
RhCl(salen)(py) is reduced by sodium amalgam or NaBH4 in alkaline solution to give compounds which react with alkyl halides to yield the alkyls RhR(salen)(py)(R = Me or Et); reduction of the chloro-complex with zinc amalgam gives a compound believed to be the metal–metal-bonded dimer [Rh(salen)(py)]2.
