Key Points

This research investigates the reactivity of rhodium(I) complexes with various alkynes and ethylene.
Studied the reactions of TpRh(C2H4)2 with di-tertbutylacetylene dicarboxylate, acetylene, phenylacetylene, and methyl propiolate.
Utilized both experimental and theoretical approaches to analyze the reaction outcomes.
Identified distinct reaction pathways for each alkyne tested.
Demonstrated variations in reactivity based on the structure of the alkynes used.

Implication

Experimental trial examines cyclotrimerization reactions of various alkynes in rhodium complexes, indicating significant interactions.

Abstract

The reactions between the Rh(I) ethylene complex TpRh(C2H4)2 (1; Tp = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate), and the alkynes di-tertbutylacetylene dicarboxylate (DTBAD), acetylene, phenylacetylene, and methyl propiolate (MP) have been studied, and the results...
