title: Pseudotetrahedral rhodium(I) complexes.
abstract: A combination of four-electron donors, such as alkynes, with strongly donating and strong-field scorpionate ligands is appropriate to create pseudotetrahedral rhodium(I) environments, as found in [Rh(PhBP3 )(HCCPh)], which promotes HC bond activation and CC coupling reactions under very smooth conditions.
