Abstract: The reaction of [CptRhCl2]2(1) (Cpt5-tBu2C5H3) with 1,2-dilithium dichalcogenolate carborane Li2E2C2B10H10(E=S, Se) afforded the 16-electron rhodium(Ⅲ) half-sandwich complexes CptRh(E2C2B10H10)[E=S(3a), Se(3b)]. 18-Electron trimethyl phosphine rhodium(Ⅲ) half-sandwich complexes CptRh(PMe3)(E2C2B10H10)[E=S(4a), Se(4b), Te(4c)] can be synthesized both by addition of PMe3 into 16-electron complexes 3a, 3b and by the reaction CptRh(PMe3)Cl2(2) with Li2E2C2B10H10(E=S, Se, Te). The molecular geometry of 4b was determined by X-ray diffraction structural analysis.
