Activation of H2by chlorocarbonylbis(trimethylphosphine)rhodium(I) labilizes CO and produces the new binuclear complex H(Cl)Rh(PMe3)2(µ-H)(µ-Cl)RH(PMe3)(CO)

Abstract
The oxidative addition of H2 to [RhCl(CO)(PMe3)2] is followed using NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with para-enriched hydrogen and leads to CO labilization and formation of an unusual binuclear complex.
