Rhodium diphosphite pincer complexes. Rare preferred in-plane olefin conformation in square-planar compounds.
Square-planar ethylene rhodium derivatives bearing pincer diphosphite ligands have been prepared and characterized, they display a rare in-plane coordination which, based on DFT calculations, has been mainly attributed to steric effects.
