Chlororhodium(I) complexes containing cyclic aminophosphonites PhP ▪NR (R = H, Me) catalyze the hydrogenation of 1-hexene. Isomerization is an important side reaction and is explained by the formation of hydridorhodium(l) species which result from the ▪NR induced HCl abstraction from rhodium(III) di...
