Rhodium catalysts with superbulky NHC ligands for the selective α-hydrothiolation of alkynes.Eight rhodium complexes-including four new compounds-with the generic formula [RhCl(cod)(NHC)] (cod is 1,3-cyclooctadiene) differing by the size of their N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand were prepared, characterized, and found to be catalytically active in the hydrothiolation of terminal alkynes with aliphatic or aromatic thiols.
