Abstract

The reaction of 6 equivalents of GaCp* (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with [{Cp*RhCl2}2] yields the complex [Cp*Rh(GaCp*)3(Cl)2] (1) exhibting a cage-like intermetallic RhGa3 center with Ga–Cl–Ga bridges. Treatment of this complex with GaCl3 gives the Lewis acid–base adduct [Cp*Rh(GaCp*)2(GaCl3)] (2). Reaction of [{Cp*RhCl2}2] with understoichiometric amounts of EICp* (E = Al, Ga, In) leads to a variety of products strongly dependent on the molecular ratio of the reactants. Thus, the reduction of [{Cp*RhCl2}2] with one equivalent of EICp* (E = Al, Ga, In) gives the RhII dimer [{Cp*RhCl}2]. The insertion of 3 equivalents of InCp* into the Rh–Cl bonds of [{Cp*RhCl2}2] yields the salt [Cp*2Rh]+[Cp*Rh(InCp*){In2Cl42-Cp*)}] (3), the anion exhibiting an intermetallic RhIn3 center with an intramolecularly bridging Cp* ring. The reaction of [{Cp*RhCl}2] with Cp*Ga yields various insertion products. In trace amount the “all hydrocarbon” cluster complex [(RhCp*)2(GaCp*)3] (6) is obtained. The corresponding ethylene containing cluster complex [{RhCp(GaCp*)(C2H4)}2] (7) can be prepared by treatment of [RhCp*(CH3CN)(C2H4)] with GaCp*.
