Experimental Study of Reductive Elimination of H2 from Rhodium Hydride Species

posted on 2012-04-23, 00:00 authored by Daisuke Inoki, Takahiro Matsumoto, Hidetaka Nakai, Seiji OgoA RhIII monohydride terpyridine complex undergoes
reductive
elimination of H2 in CH3CN to form a dinuclear
RhII complex with a metal–metal bond. Kinetic studies
have revealed that the conversion from the monohydride species to
the dinuclear species with evolution of H2 obeys first-order
kinetics and have determined the kinetic deuterium isotope effect
value to be 2.0. We discuss the mechanism for the reductive elimination
of H2 from rhodium hydride species.
