The ligand precursor 1,3-(di(t-butyl)phosphino-oxy)(di(isopropyl)aminomethyl)benzene ('NCOP-H') has been used to synthesize pincer (kappa-3-NCP) rhodium complexes, including (NCOP)RhHCl. A comparison of their reactivity with the corresponding PCP pincer complexes, with respect to both the differences engendered by a coordinated amino group vs. a phosphino group, as well as the possibility of hemilability resulting from dissociation of the amino group, has been initiated
