Abstract
Reaction of the Rh(II) dimer [LRh]2(μ-Br)2 (L = ([2,6-Me2C6H3NCMe]2CH) with the bulky amide LiNH(2,6-iPr2C6H3) leads to a monomeric Rh(II) amide with a T-shape N3Rh arrangement and a pronounced agostic interaction. Reaction with the less bulky LiNH(2,6-Me2C6H3) results in benzylic C-H activation to a binuclear complex with a unique aza-xylylene bridging mode. With LiNHC6H5 we observe initial formation of [LRh]2(μ-NHPh)2 followed by N,C2′ coupling of two anilines. These reactions can be explained based on aminyl radical character of the Rh(II) amides (supported by EPR evidence) and/or involvement of nitrene intermediates.
