Found: C, 35.78; 1297 H, 4.98; N, 2.28. 1 H NMR (400.9 MHz, CD 2 Cl 2 ): δ 8.86 (br m, 2 H, H2 <strong>of</strong> py), 7.97 (m, 1 H, H4 <strong>of</strong> py), 7.55 (m, 2 H, H3 <strong>of</strong> py), 1.75 (d, 4 J PH = 3.4 Hz, 15 H, C 5 Me 5 ), 1.66 (dd, 2 J PH = 10.7 Hz, 3 J RhH = 0.5 Hz, 9 H, PMe 3 ). 13 C{ 1 H} NMR (100.8 MHz, CD 2 Cl 2 ): δ 156.9 (br s, C2 <strong>of</strong> py), 139.9 (s, C4 <strong>of</strong> py), 127.9 (s, C3 <strong>of</strong> py), 100.9 (dd, 1 J RhC = 6.2 Hz, 2 J PC = 2.6 Hz, C 5 Me 5 ), 16.9 (d, 1 J PC = 33.9 Hz, PMe 3 ), 10.2 (s, C 5 Me 5 ). 19 F NMR (188.3 MHz, CD 2 Cl 2 ): δ −152.7 (s, 10 BF 4 ), −152.6 (s, 11 BF 4 ). 31 P{ 1 H} NMR (100.8 MHz, CD 2 Cl 2 ): δ 2.0 (d, 1 J RhP = 137.7 Hz). Anion Trapping Experiments. Typical Procedure. Complex [Rh(η 5 -Cp*)(η 2 -C 2 H 4 )(PMe 3 )] was generated in situ by heating [Rh(η 5 -Cp*)(η 2 -C 2 H 4 ) 2 ] (15 mg, 0.051 mmol) and PMe 3 (55 μL <strong>of</strong>a 1 M toluene solution, 0.055 mmol) in C 6 D 6 or D 8 -toluene (0.5 mL) at 120 °C for 24 h in an NMR tube. Then, CH 3 OD and IR F were consecutively added. After 1 h, the NMR spectra <strong>of</strong> the dark red solution were measured. The NMR data <strong>of</strong> the detected species (DR F or HR F ;R F = CF(CF 3 ) 2 , 65,72 C(CF 3 ) 3 , 72,73 n C 4 F 9 , 71,72 and C 6 F 74 5 ) are given in the Supporting Information. X-ray Crystallography. <strong>Complexes</strong> 1a, 1b, 3c, 4g, and 7 were measured on a Bruker Smart APEX, and 8 was measured on an Oxford Diffraction Xcalibur S diffractometer. Data were collected using monochromated Mo Kα radiation in ω-scan mode at 100 K. Absorption corrections were applied on the basis <strong>of</strong> multiscans (Program SADABS for complexes 1a, 1b, 3c, 4g, and 7 and CrysAlis RED for 8). All structures were refined anisotropically on F 2 . The methyl groups were refined using rigid groups (AFIX 137), and the other hydrogens were refined using a riding model. Special features and exceptions: For complex 1a, two CF 3 groups are disordered over two positions; for complex ■ 7, all the CF 3 groups are disordered over two positions.
