The reaction of [RhCp(coe)(2)] (1, coe = cis-cyclooctene) with one equivalent of the secondary phosphines PR2H in refluxing toluene afforded in situ the new complexes [RhCp(coe)(PR2H)] (R = Ph, 2a; R = o-tolyl, 2b; R = tBu, 2c) in good yields. Further thermolysis of 2a and 2b, respectively, in refluxing xylene resulted in the formation of the dinuclear doubly phosphanyl-bridged rhodium(II) species [{RhCp(mu-PR2)}(2)] (3a and 3b). This thermolytic approach does not work in the case of 2c since the tBu substituents increase the electron density on the rhodium center and impede, therefore, the loss of the olefinic ligand presumably caused by a stronger back donation effect. On the way from 2a to 3a the intermediate rhodium(III) complex [{RhCp(mu-PPh2)(H)(2)}(2)] (4a) was isolated. All new compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods as well as by X-ray crystallography in the case of 3a, 3b and 4a confirming their molecular structures in the crystal. The compound [{RhCp(mu-PPh2)}(2)] did not react with dihydrogen at ambient conditions and not even in refluxing toluene affording the complex 4a by oxidative addition as originally assumed.
