dc.description.abstractThe reaction rate of the oxidative addition and CO insertion steps of methyl iodide with [Rh(PhCOCHCOPh)(CO)(P(OCH<sub>2</sub> ) <sub>3</sub> CCH<sub>3</sub> )] are presented. Large negative experimental values for the activation entropy and results from a density functional theory computational chemistry study indicated trans addition of the CH<sub>3</sub> I to [Rh(PhCOCHCOPh)(CO)(P(OCH<sub>2</sub> ) <sub>3</sub> CCH<sub>3</sub> )]. A study of the molecular orbitals gives insight into the flow of electrons during the oxidative addition reaction. CO insertion leads to a square pyramidal [Rh(PhCOCHCOPh) (P(OCH<sub>2</sub> ) <sub>3</sub> CCH<sub>3</sub> )(COCH<sub>3</sub> )(I)] acyl product with the COCH<sub>3</sub> moiety in the apical position. The strong electron donation of the P(OCH<sub>2</sub> ) <sub>3</sub> CCH<sub>3</sub> ligand accelerates the oxidation addition step of methyl iodide to [Rh(PhCOCHCOPh)(CO)(P(OCH<sub>2</sub> ) <sub>3</sub> CCH<sub>3</sub> )] by ca. 265 times faster (at 35°C) than that of the Monsanto catalyst, but inhibits the CO insertion step.en_US
