In the first part of this work, a general method for the preparation of aryl, methyl, vinyl and alkynyl(vinyl-idene)rhodium(I) complexes trans-[Rh(R')-(=C=CHR)(PiPr3)2] (8-14, 18-22) and trans-[Rh(R')(=C=CMe2)(PiPr3)2] (16, 17) from the corresponding chloro(vinyl-idene) derivatives and Grignard reagents is described. Whilst compounds 8 and 10-13 react with pyridine to give trans-[Rh(C≡CR)(py)(PiPr3)2] (23-25) by elimination of R'H, treatment of 8-11, 16, and 18 with carbon monoxide yields the square-planar η1-vinyl and η1-butadienylrhodiumcarbonyl complexes trans-[Rh{η1-(Z)-C(R')=CHR}(CO)(PiPr3)2] (27-32). The reaction of 8 or 18 with methyl or tert-butylisocyanide leads stereoselectively to the isocyaniderhodium(I) compounds trans- [Rh{η1-(Z)-C(R)=CHPh}(CNR') (PiPr3)2] (33-35). Acid-induced cleavage of the rhodium-carbon σ bond of 27, 30, or 31 with CH3CO2H gives trans-[Rh(η1-O2CCH3)-(CO)(PiPr3)2] (38) and the corresponding olefin or diene, respectively. In the absence of a Lewis base such as pyridine, CO, or CNR', compounds 18-20 rearrange in benzene at 40-50 °C to afford the isomeric π-allyl complexes [Rh(η3-1-RC3H4)(PiPr3)2] (40-42) almost quantitatively. The vinyl(vinylidene) compounds 11 and 12 also undergo an intramolecular rearrangement that leads to the η3-2,3,4-butadienyl- or to the alkynyl(ethene)rhodium(I) isomers, depending on the reaction conditions. In an analogous manner to the η1-vinyl-and η1-butadienyl(carbonyl) derivatives 27, 30, and 31, the π-allyl and π-butadienyl complexes also react with acetic acid to give [Rh(η1-O2CCH3)(PiPr3)2] (47) and the respective olefin.
