title: Rhodium(I) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbenes bearing a 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylphenyl and its higher dendritic frameworks.
abstract: Novel rhodium(I) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbenes bearing a 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylphenyl and its higher dendritic frameworks were synthesized and the complexes were used as catalysts in rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones to show high 1,4-adduct selectivity.
