Synthesis of Mixed Ligand Cationic Rhodium(I) Complexes with Diolefin and Substituted Quinoline N-Oxides as Ligands.

Abstract The mixed ligand cationic rhodium(I) complexes of the type [Rh(COD)LL′]C104 (L=QNO, 2-Me- QNO, 4-MeQNO, 4-C1QNO, 2-PhQNO; L′=4-NH2py, 4-NMe2py, Im, PPh3) have been prepared and characterized. The reactions of [Rh(COD)(4-MeQNO)2]- C104 with various ligands are also reported.
