Preparation and Oxidative Addition Reactions of 8-Oxyquinolate Rhodium(I) Complexes

Abstract The preparation of new 8-oxyquinolate rhodium(I) complexes of the general formula Rh(Oq) (L) (L') is described. They undergo oxidative addition reactions with halogens and methyl iodide to give the corresponding rhodium(III) complexes. NMR measurements are used in the characterization of the compounds.
