The unique Rh–Al bond in recently synthesized Rh(PAlP)1{PAlP = pincer-type diphosphino-aluminyl ligand Al[NCH2(PiPr2)]2(C6H4)2NMe} was investigated using the DFT method. Complex1has four doubly occupied nonbonding d orbitals on the Rh atom and one Rh d orbital largely participating in the Rh–Al bond which exhibits considerably large bonding overlap between Rh and Al atoms like in a covalent bond. Interestingly, Rhδ−−Alδ+polarization is observed in the bonding MO of1, which is reverse to Rhδ+−Eδ−(E = coordinating atom) polarization found in a usual coordinate bond. This unusual polarization arises from the presence of the Al valence orbital at significantly higher energy than the Rh valence orbital energy. Characteristic features of1are further unveiled by comparing1with similar Rh complexes RhL(PMe3)2(2for L = AlMe2,3for L = Al(NMe2)2,4for L = BMe2,5for L = SiMe3,6for L = SiH3,7for L = CH3,8for L = OMe, and9for L = Cl). As expected,7,8, and9exhibit usual Rhδ+−Eδ−polarization (E = coordinating atom) in the Rh–E bonding MO. On the other hand, the reverse Rhδ−−Eδ+polarization is observed in the Rh–E bonding MOs of2–5like in1, while the Rh–Si bond is polarized little in6. These results are clearly understood in terms of the valence orbital energy of the ligand. Because the LUMO of1mainly consists of the Rh 4dσ, 5s, and 5p orbitals and the Al 3s and 3p orbitals, both Rh and Al atoms play the role of coordinating site for a substrate bearing a lone pair orbital. For instance, NH3and pyridine coordinate to both Al and Rh atoms with considerably large binding energy. PAlP exhibits significantly strong trans influence, which is as strong as that of SiMe3but moderately weaker than that of BMe2. The trans influence of these ligands is mainly determined by the valence orbital energy of the ligand and the covalent bond radius of the coordinating E atom.
