RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Hidden aryl-exchange processes in stable 16e RhIII [RhCp*Ar2] complexes, and their unexpected transmetalation mechanism A1 Peñas de Frutos, Marconi Nicolás A1 Bartolomé Albistegui, María del Camino A1 García Melchor, Max A1 Espinet Rubio, Pablo K1 Transmetalación AB Experiments mixing the stable 16e 5-coordinate complexes [RhCp*Ar2] (Cp* = C5Me5; Ar = C6F5, C6F3Cl2-3,5) uncover fast aryl transmetalations. Unexpectedly, as supported computationally, these exchanges are not spontaneous, but catalyzed by minute amounts of 18e (μ-OH)2[RhCp*Ar]2 as a source of 16e [RhCp*Ar(OH)]. The OH group is an amazingly efficient bridging partner to diminish the activation barrier of transmetalation.
