Amide-Functionalized Naphthyridines on a Rh(II)–Rh(II) Platform #chempaper 225

This is an interesting paper on dirhodium complexes where the authors try to synthesize some catalytically active compounds, but instead they found out and reported the steric effects of the ligands. Some of the complexes do show some catalytic activity but the known and simple dirhodium acetate complex is still much more active.

Anyway, it's worth reading and seeing some interesting ligands and synthetic work.
