SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF NEUTRAL CARBONYL COMPLEXES OF RHODIUM(I) WITH 2-AMINO-1,3,2-DIOXAPHOSPHORINANES

Neutral mono- and di-nuclear carbonyl 2-amino-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane rhodium complexes of types RhCl(CO)L2 and [RhCl(CO)L]2 have been synthetized. The complexing process in the [RhCl(CO)2]2-phosphcrinane system has been investigated at different molar ratios of reagents by means of 31P NMR spectroscopy. The dinuclear phosphorinane complexes, in contrast to mononuclear ones, exhibit activity in the catalytic hydrogenation of olefins.
