MechanochemicalSynthesis of [Rh(L)(acac)(CO] Complexes(L = N-Heterocyclic Carbene or Phosphine)

Abstract The mechanochemical synthesis of well-defined [Rh(L)(acac)(CO)] (L = NHC or phosphine) complexes via planetary milling and manual grinding with a mortar and pestle is reported. This solventless protocol, which proceeds via a ligand displacement from [Rh(acac)(CO)2], was...
