Organometallic reactivity patterns of the rhodium tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives Rh(TPP)(H), Rh(TPP)/sup -/, and (Rh(TPP))/sub 2/ are found to closely parallel those of the corresponding rhodium octaethylporphyrins species. Preparation and physical properties of the formyl, hydroxymethyl, and alkyl complexes of Rh(TPP) are described along with the photoinduced insertion of carbon monoxide into the Rh-CH/sub 3/ bond. Thermodynamic values for the reaction Rh(TPP)(H) + CO in equilibrium Rh(TPP)(CHO) in C/sub 6/D/sub 6/ are ..delta..H/sup 0/ = -42 kJ/mol and ..delta..S/sup 0/ = -89 +/- 15 J/(K mol).
