Abstract

{Rhodium(I) complexes of beta-diketonates such as bis(eta-2-ethene)[1,3-(1-phenyl)-butanedionato-O,O’]rhodium(I) and related (O ... O) ligands are active catalysts for the hydrogenation of unhindered alkenes at 30-degrees-C (1 atm H-2). Substrates such as alpha-acylaminocinnamic acid are not hydrogenated under these conditions, a result that can be used as a test for homogeneity in these catalytic systems. The crystal structures of two catalysts are described: bis(eta-2 -ethene)[1,3-(1-ferrocenyl)-butanedionato-O,O’] rhodium(I), orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with a = 7.8550(4)
