title: Synthesis of Mono-, Di-, and Trinuclear Rhodium Diphosphine Complexes Containing Light-Harvesting Fluorene Backbones.
abstract: Syntheses and structural determination of rhodium complexes ligated by diphosphines containing light-harvesting fluorene backbones are presented. In these rhodium complexes, the rhodium center is surrounded by a light-absorbing diphosphine unit. The presence of Rh-Rh bonding interactions is suggested by density functional theory studies.
