Abstract

The optically pure cationic complex (S,S(Rh))-[Rh(eta5-C(5)H(4)CH(2)CH(Ph)PPh(2)-kappaP)(eta2-CH(2)CH(2))(CH(3))][I] is the first example of a key intermediate in the oxidative addition reaction of methyl iodide on a rhodium(I) centre which has been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction.
