Rhodathiaborane reaction cycles driven by C2H4 and H2: synthesis and characterization of [(H)2(PPh3)RhSB8H7(PPh3)] and [(η2-C2H4)(PPh3)RhSB8H7(PPh3)]†
Abstract
New 10-vertex rhodathiaboranes are reported to exhibit reversible reaction chemistry leading to the formation of stoichiometric cycles driven by oxidation/reduction chemistry of the polyhedral boron-based clusters with ethelyne and dihydrogen.
