Abstract

Sequential reaction of two different hemilabile ligands (Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)X)(2)Ar (X = S, Ar = C(6)H(4) or C(6)(CH(3))(4); X = NCH(3), Ar = C(6)H(4); X = O, Ar = 9,10-C(14)H(8)) with a Rh(I) metal center resulted in the formation of heteroligated metallomacrocycles in high yield. The specific reaction conditions for each pair of hemilabile ligands are discussed. The solid-state structure of [[1,4-(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)S)(2)C(6)H(4)]-[1,4-(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)S)(2)C(6)(CH(3))(4)]Rh(2)](BF(4))(2), as determined by X-ray crystallography, is presented.
