The processes resulting in the redistribution of the carbonyl groups between the rhodium(I) complexes in a solution of (Rh(C2H4)COCl)2 (I) in chloroform under the action 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) have been studied by the methods of IR, TC NMR, and H NMR spectroscopy. It has been shown that in reaction mixtures containing I + x mole cod/Rh the asymmetric complex (cod)RhCl2Rh(CO)2 (II) with nu(CO) = 2092 and 2022 cm , delta( TC) = 178.7 ppm, and J(CRh) = 75.2 Hz forms when x less than or equal to 0.5. When x > 0.5, the pentacoordinate monocarbonyl complex (cod) CORhCl2RhCO(cod)(III) with nu(CO) = 2050 cm , which is stable in the presence of cod, forms. When x greater than or equal to 3, III is the main product present in the reaction mixtures. In the spectra of such mixtures the TC signal is a singlet with delta( TC) = 178.4 ppm. The butadienecarbonyl complex ((RhCOCl)2C4H6)/sub n/ behaves similarly to I. The reaction involving the replacement of CO ligands by cod in (Rh(CO)2)Cl)2 in a chloroform medium with cod;Rh = 1 passes through a step involving the formation of III; when the reaction is conducted in heptane, the formation of III is not detected.
