Abstract

The reactions of (Cl)Rh(PR 3 ) 3  (R = Me, Et) with the anionic thiapentadienide reagent lithium 2,3-dimethyl-5-thiapentadienide have been investigated. In each case, the kinetic product exhibits a thiapentadienyl bonding mode in which the sulfur atom is σ-bonded to rhodium; however, ligand rearrangement yields thermodynamic isomers in which the carbon end of the thiapentadienyl chain is σ-bonded to rhodium.
