Synthesis of novel ruthenium and rhodium complexes with a silsesquioxane-based phosphine ligand
Novel silsesquioxane-containing ruthenium and rhodium complexes were prepared by the reaction of [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2) and [(C2H4)(2)RhCl](2) with a new silsesquioxane-based tridentate phosphine ligand, (c-C5H9)(7)Si7O9(OSiMe2CH2CH2PPh2)(3) (1).
