Reactions of N,C,N-chelated pnictinidenes with Rh(I) and Ir(I) complexes: Coordination vs. Transmetalation

It was demonstrated that N,C,N-chelated arsinidene and stibinidene can coordinate Rh(I) and Ir(I) atoms thus forming the first examples of compounds containing E(I)→Rh(I) and E(I)→Ir(I) bonds (where E = As or Sb).155
