A Rh^I‐Centered Cage Compound with Selective Catalytic Properties

Abstract

A concave structure to bind substrates as well as two phosphite sites to bind Rh1 are found in compound 1. The schematic drawing 2 shows the structure of the Rh1 cage compound with a bound 4-allylcatechol molecule, which is either isomerized to methylstyrene or hydrogenated to the propyl derivative.
