Dinuclear rhodium(I) complex [{RhI(cod)}2(μ-OC6H4-2-Me)2] (1), exhibits the syn-anti isomerism consisting in the orientation of methyl groups of the bridge ligands with respect to the plane or distorted plane involving Rh and O atoms. The syn isomer predominates in CDCl3 solution (above 90%) at room temperature. EXSY 1H NMR measurements showed that, in CDCl3 solution, complex 1 undergoes at least two independent dynamic processes differing substantially in values of activation parameters: (i) rotation of 2-methylphenyl rings in bridge ligands along the O-C axis, and (ii) formal rotation of cod ligands along the Rh-cod axes, which proves fluxional behavior of cod ligand in RhI(cod) complexes.
