Abstract

Reaction of [lr(cod)(μ-pz)]2 (cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene; pzH = pyrazole) with Ph2PH results in hydrogenation of cod at one lr centre to give a 1-σ,4-5-η-C8H13 (i.e. -enyl) unit, affording the complex [lr(cod(μ-pz)(μ-PPh2) 2lr(C8H13)] in which lr-lr = 2.780 Å and both pz and PPh2 ligands occupy unsymmetrical bridging positions.
