Photchemistry of intermolecular C-H bond activation reactions
We have focused mainly on the solution photochemistry of the CpRh(CO){sub 2} and Cp*Rh(CO){sub 2} (Cp = {eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}H{sub 5}; Cp* = {eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}Me{sub 5}) systems. Previously, we had found that the photosubstitutional chemistry of CpRh(CO){sub 2} apparently proceeds via an associative process; this was an unexpected finding and it brought into question the assignment of a 16-electron CpRh(CO) intermediate (formed by initial CO dissociation) in these photochemical substitution and C-H bond activation reactions. In other related studies, we have been exploring the photochemical transformations taking place in a series of high nuclearity osmium cluster complexes. 7 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
