Summary
Schiffs bases derived from 2-aminothiazole and substituted benzaldehydes were reacted with [RhCl(PPh3)3] or [Rh(μ-Cl)(COD)]2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of four equivalents of PPh3 to give RhIII cyclometallated complexes of the type [RhHCl{(X-benzylidene) thiazole}(PPh3)2], in which the imine C-H added oxidatively to the metal. The complexes were characterized using i.r., u.v. and n.m.r. spectroscopy. The disposition of the hydride ligand was inferred as trans to a N-donor ligand.
