Hidden qualities: [Rh(PiPr3)(C14H16)][BArF4] (1; see picture of the cation; P violet, Rh olive green), which was synthesized by treatment of [RhCl(nbd)(PiPr3)] with Na[BArF4] (BArF4=B{C6H3(CF3)2}4) and norbornadiene (nbd) in fluorobenzene, contains an organic fragment derived from Binor-S as well as agostic Rh⋅⋅⋅CC and Rh⋅⋅⋅HC interactions. In solution, 1 undergoes rapid, reversible CC activation/reductive elimination.
