title: Phosphine-olefin ligands: a facile dehydrogenative route to catalytically active rhodium complexes.
abstract: Facile, metal-mediated, (acceptorless) dehydrogenation of tricyclopentyl phosphine directly affords rhodium chelating phosphine-olefin complexes, some of which are catalytically active for 1,4-additions.
