Coordination complexes containing late metal-nitrogen multiple bonds (imides and nitrides) are important intermediates in a number of catalytic processes leading to C-N bond formation. We have investigated the synthesis and reactivity of late-metal silylamides as potential precursors to imido and nitrido complexes via oxidative Si-N bond cleavage. Toward this goal, we will present findings regarding the synthesis of new three-coordinate diphosphine Rh(I) complexes with monodentate silylamide ligands and their bond-forming and group-transfer reactivity under a variety of conditions.
