Abstract
The synthesis of two well‐defined rhodium(I) complexes of nitrous oxide (N2O) is reported. These normally elusive adducts are stable in the solid state and persist in solution at ambient temperature, enabling comprehensive structural interrogation by 15N NMR and IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. These methods evidence coordination of N2O through the terminal nitrogen atom in a linear fashion and are supplemented by a computational energy decomposition analysis, which provides further insights into the nature of the Rh–N2O interaction.
The synthetic exploitation of nitrous oxide (N2O) is an enduring challenge that draws topical interest as a means to remediate the detrimental impact emission of this kinetically stable gas on the environment.1 Whilst the application of homogenous transition‐metal complexes is an attractive prospect, the underpinning inorganic chemistry is conspicuously under‐developed.2 Indeed, the number of discrete transition‐metal complexes of N2O is currently limited to a handful of examples (A–D), of which only two have been structurally characterised in the solid state using X‐ray diffraction (Figure 1).3, 4-7 This paucity is attributed to the extremely poor ligand properties of N2O, conferred by a low dipole moment, weak σ‐donor and π‐acceptor characteristics, and the propensity of these adducts for subsequent N−N or N−O bond cleavage.2
