The chemistry of dirhodium(II) catalysts is highly diverse, and can enable the synthesis of many different molecular classes. A tool to aid in catalyst selection, independent of mechanism and reactivity, would therefore be highly desirable. Here, we describe the development of a database for dirhodium(II) catalysts that is based on the principal component analysis of DFT-calculated parameters capturing their steric and electronic properties. This database maps the relevant catalyst space, and may facilitate exploration of the reactivity landscape for any process catalysed by dirhodium(II) complexes. We have shown that one of the principal components of these catalysts correlates with the outcome (e.g. yield, selectivity) of a transformation used in a molecular discovery project. Furthermore, we envisage that this approach will assist the selection of more effective catalyst screening sets, and, hence, the data-led optimisation of a wide range of rhodium-catalysed transformations.

The dirhodium(II) complexes with bridging phosphine and OAc ligands showed high reactivity and selectivities in olefin dehydrosilylation. In order to determine the structure of the actual catalyst which cannot be determined experimentally, the geometries of the dirhodium catalyst, the detailed catalytic mechanism, and the stereo- and chemo-selectivities of the title reaction were studied using DFT calculations. The results showed that one OAc group is monodentate and the other is bidentate in the dirhodium catalyst C'.

The paddlewheel-type dimetal core ([M]) is a ubiquitous motif in the nodes in coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, their preparation has relied on ligand-substitution-labile metal ions owing to challenges associated with crystallization. Consequently, examples featuring ligand-substitution-inert metal ions, such as Ru or Rh, are scarce.

Cooperative bimetallic catalysis to access novel reactivities is a powerful strategy for reaction development in transition-metal-catalyzed chemistry. Particularly, elucidation of the evolution of two transition-metal catalysts and understanding their roles in dual catalysis are among the most fundamental goals for bimetallic catalysis. Herein, a novel three-component reaction of a terminal alkyne, a diazo ester, and an allylic carbonate was successfully developed via cooperative Cu/Rh catalysis with Xantphos as the ligand, providing a highly efficient strategy to access 1,5-enynes with an all-carbon quaternary center that can be used as immediate synthetic precursors for complex cyclic molecules.

Although cyclopropanation with donor/acceptor carbenes can be conducted under low catalyst loadings (<0.001 mol %), such low loading has not been generally effective for other classes of carbenes such as acceptor carbenes. In this current study, we demonstrate that ethyl diazoacetate can be effectively used in the cyclopropanation of -Boc-2,5-dihydropyrrole with dirhodium(II) catalyst loadings of 0.

Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective N-H insertion reactions of carbene species offer a powerful and straightforward strategy to produce chiral nitrogen-containing compounds. Developing highly selective insertion reactions using indole variants can meet synthetic demand. Herein we present an asymmetric insertion reaction into N-H bonds of the aromatic heterocycles using donor/acceptor-substituted diazo compounds based on a heteronuclear catalytic platform.
