title: Chiral MOP-phosphonite ligands: synthesis, characterisation and interconversion of η1,η6-(σ-P, π-arene) chelated rhodium(I) complexes.
abstract: The synthesis of rhodium(I) and iridium(I) complexes of chiral MOP-phosphonite ligands is reported. The full characterisation of η(1),η(6)-(σ-P, π-arene) chelated 18VE rhodium(I) complexes reveals hemilabile binding on the arene which has been quantitatively analysed.
