摘要
Iwasawa and co-workers have recently found that the addition of CO to a Rh dimer complex with an acyl ligand (bound to a silica support) causes decarbonylation accompanied by Rh-Rh bond breaking. Ordinarily decarbonylation occurs in the absence of CO pressure. On the basis of ASED-MO calculations, we find that the driving force for decarbonylation is the stability of thc nearly square-planar d8 Rh that is formed: [GRAPHICS] Here the Rh-Rh bond has been cleaved and a CO of the complex on the right forms a weak sigma-donation bond with the Rh on the left.
