Reactivity of rhodium-heteroatom bonds: from catalytic bond activation to new strategies for olefin functionalization

Rhodium complexes bearing multidentate nitrogen donor ligands were investigated for their ability to promote alkyne and olefin functionalization reactions. This thesis work is comprised of two projects in which rhodium-heteroatom reactivity is investigated: P-H bond activation reactions and olefin f...
