title: Activation of H2 by a highly distorted Rh(II) complex with a new C3-symmetric tripodal tetraphosphine ligand.
abstract: Facile oxidation of a sterically encumbered Rh(I) complex generates a stable Rh(II) metalloradical species; the latter is able to activate H(2) under formation of the corresponding Rh(III) complex.
