Abstract: A series of novel neutral mononuclear rhodium(I) complexes of the P-NH ligands have been prepared starting from [Rh(cod)Cl]<subscript>2</subscript> complex. Structural elucidation of the complexes was carried out by elemental analysis, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopic data. The complexes were applied to the of acetophenone derivatives to 1-phenylethanol derivatives in the presence of 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. Catalytic studies showed that all complexes are also excellent catalyst precursors for of aryl alkyl ketones in 0.1 m iso-PrOH solution. In particular, [Rh(cod)(PPh<subscript>2</subscript>NH-C<subscript>6</subscript>H<subscript>4</subscript>-4-CH(CH<subscript>3</subscript>)<subscript>2</subscript>)Cl] acts as an excellent catalyst, giving the corresponding alcohols in excellent conversion up to 99% (turnover frequency ≤ 588 h<superscript>−1</superscript>). Furthermore, rhodium(I) complexes have been used in the formation of organic-inorganic heterojunction by forming their on n-Si and evaporating Au on the films. It has been seen that the structures have rectifying properties. Their electrical properties have been analyzed with the help of current-voltage measurements. Finally, it has been shown that the complexes can be used in the fabrication of temperature and light sensors. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
