Popis: The reaction of trans -[RhCl(CO)(DPM)] 2 (DPM = Ph 2 PCH 2 PPh 2 ) with dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate (DMA) and hexafluoro-2-butyne (HFB) yield the novel species [Rh 2 Cl 2 (μ-CO)(μ-Acet)(DPM) 2 ] (Acet = DMA, HFB). The X-ray structure determination of the DMA derivative indicates that the complex has the acetylene molecule coordinated as a cis -dimetallated olefin and also contains a ketonic carbonyl ligand. The long Rh⋯Rh separation (3.3542(9) A) suggests no metal—metal bond and the RhC(O)Rh angle (116.0(4)°) suggest sp 2 hybridization of the carbonyl carbon atom. Similarly the geometry at the acetylene ligand and the CC distance of the coordinated acetylene moiety (1.32(1) A) are consistent with the dimetallated olefinic formulation. This represents the first reported characterization of a ketonic carbonyl complex outside the Ni triad. These novel complexes have also been formed by the direct insertion of the acetylene molecules into the formal RhRh bond in [Rh 2 Cl 2 (μ-CO)(DPM) 2 ].
