A benzene soluble dimeric rhodium (II) salen derivative, [(ttbs)Rh]{sub 2}, with a weak Rh-Rh bond (13 kcal mol{sup -1}) reacts with H{sub 2} and CO to produce hydride, metalloketone, and formyl complexes, but reaction of (ttbs)Rh-H with CO also induces migration of H{sup +} from rhodium to the salen ligand to form a rhodium (I) dicarbonyl complex, (Httbs)Rh(CO){sub 2}. 16 refs., 2 figs.
