Abstract
The bis(thiolate)Rh(III) complex having a tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate (TpMe2) coligand [TpMe2Rh(SPh)2(MeCN)] reacts reversibly with H2 to form the hydridothiolato complex [TpMe2RhH(SPh)(MeCN)] and PhSH. The benzenedithiolate analogue [TpMe2Rh(o-S2C6H4)(MeCN)], which can also heterolytically activate H2, catalyzes hydrogenation of imines under ambient temperature and pressure with high chemoselectivity.
