title: A chiral stannate as an "ansa" pi-arene ligand in rhodium chemistry.
abstract: Reaction of the triamido stannate MeSi[SiMe(2)N[(R)-CHMePh]](3)SnLi (1) with 0.5 molar equivalent of [RhCl(olefin)(2)](2) (olefin = COE, C(2)H(4)) or [RhCl(P(i)Pr(3))(2)](2) yielded the Rh-Sn complexes [MeSi[SiMe(2)N[(R)-CHMePh]](2)[SiMe(2)N[(R)-CHMe(eta(6)-C(6)H(5))]SnRh(L)] (L = COE: 2a, C(2)H(4): 2b, P(i)Pr(3) 3); their intramolecular eta(6)-coordination, along with the tin-rhodium bond, represents the first "ansa" pi-arene/stannate system.
