The isotope effects involved in the activation of arene C-H bonds by the intermediate ((C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)) have been investigated. The ratio k/sub H/k/sub D/ for coordination to a double bond in benzene (the rate-determining step of arene activation) is found to be 1.05 (6), whereas k/sub H//k/sub D/ = 1.4 for the second step in which the C-H bond of the coordinated arene undergoes oxidative addition. The isotope effect K/sub H/D/ for the equilibrium between the more stable phenyl hydride complex (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(C/sub 6/D/sub 5/)H and the complex containing hydrogen in the ortho position of the phenyl ring (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(o-C/sub 6/D/sub 4/H)D shows a preference for hydrogen (vs. deuterium) on the metal of 2.7. The kinetic isotope effect for reductive elimination and dissociation of m-xylene from (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(3,5-C/sub 6/H/sub 3/Me/sub 2/)H vs. (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(3,5-C/sub 6/H/sub 3/Me/sub 2/)D is found to be inverse, with k/sub H//k/sub D/ = 0.51. Analysis of the data for the deuterated benzene derivatives confirms that the kinetic isotope for the reductive elimination step is inverse. Attempts to prepare the complex (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(CH/sub 3/)D by reduction of ((C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(CH/sub 3/)(THF))/sup +/ with (DBEt/sub 3/)/sup -/ resulted in the formation of both (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(CH/sub 3/)D and (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Rh(PMe/sub 3/)(CH/sub 2/D)H.
