Summary The rhodium(I) carboxylates,trans-RhO2CR(CO)(PPh3)2 (R = C6F5, C6Cl5,p-HC6F4,m-HC6F4,o-HC6F4,p-McOC6F4, 4,5-H2C6F3, 3,5-H2C6F3, or 2,6-F2C6H3, have been prepared by reaction of RhH(CO)(PPh3)3 with the appropriate polyhalogenobenzoic acids in ethanol and/or by reaction oftrans-RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2 with the appropriate thallous carboxylates in benzene. Decarboxylations with formation of polyhalogenoarylrhodium(I) compounds,trans-RhR(CO)(PPh3)2 (R = C6F5, C6Cl5,p-HC6F4,m-HC6F4,p-MeOC6F4, 4,5-H2C6F3 or 3,5-H2C6F3), have been achieved either by decomposition of the corresponding rhodium(I) carboxylates in pyridine or by reaction oftrans-RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2 and the thallous carboxylates in pyridine, but the derivatives R =o-HC6F4 or 2,6-F2C6H3 could not be obtained by this method. The rate of decarboxylation decreased in the sequence R = C6F5 〉p-MeOC6F4 〉p-HC6F4 〉m-HC6F4 〉 4,5-H2C6F3 〉 3,5-H2C6F3.
