(a) During oxidative addition Rh(I) changes to Rh(III).
X--Y is heteronuclear bond . Oxidative addition product is an octahedral compound. You have drawn the correct structure of product.
(b) MeI (heteronuclear)does also oxidatively add with A and also giving the same octahedral complex.
Organometallic question: 1) For our purposes, the interesting ligand illustrated below is inflexible, occupying a square plane around the Rh(I) metal center F2 (a) Draw the oxidative addition product...
1. The Rh(I) complex below bears an inflexible ligand, occupying
a square plane around the metal centre.
a) Draw the oxidative addition product of a generic species, X-Y
to the complex. What is the new geometry around rhodium?
b) Would you expect H2 or MeI to oxidatively add to the Rh(I)
complex?
c) What would these results imply about the mechanism of
oxidative addition at this complex?
