Terminal acetylide complexes of rhodium(II) and rhodium(III) with the tripodal polyphosphine ligands N(CH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}PPh{sub 2}){sub 3} (NP{sub 3}) and P(CH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}PPh{sub 2}){sub 3} (PP{sub 3}) have been synthesized either by controlled-potential coulometry or by chemical oxidation of the Rh(I) neutral {sigma}-acetylide compounds ((L)Rh(C{triple bond}CR)) (L = NP{sub 3}, R = Ph, CO{sub 2}Et; L = PP{sub 3}, R = Ph, CO{sub 2}Et, CHO). All of the compounds undergo electron-transfer reactions that encompass the Rh(I), Rh(II), and Rh(III) oxidation states of the metal. The characterization has been carried out by IR, NMR, and ESR techniques. The presence of a significant d{pi} (metal) {yields} {pi} (acetylide) interaction in the HOMO is diagnosed by comparing and contrasting either the stretching frequencies {nu}(C{triple bond}C) within the members of the ((L)Rh(C{triple bond}CR)){sup n+} family (n = 0-2) or the redox potentials E{degree}{prime} within the more numerous ((L)RhX) family (X = C1, H, C{triple bond}CR, CN, CO).
