A series of perfluoroalkyl (Rf—) and fluoroalkyl (RfCH2—) complexes of rhodium(III) have been prepared by oxidative addition reactions of RfI and RfCH2I (Rf = CF3, C2F5 and C3F7) with trans-RhClCO(PMe2Ph)2. The reaction of CF3I with trans-RhClCO(PMePH2)2 gave RhClI(CF3)CO(PMePh2)2 but no reaction was observed with CF3CH2I. The trans stereochemistry of addition has been assigned to all complexes by nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and the comparison of the far-infrared spectra to those of some bromo compounds: RhBrI(CF3)CO(PMe2Ph)2 and RhBrI(C3F7CH2)CO(PMe2Ph)2. Both 1H and 19F nmr data are presented and discussed.
