Supporting two metal binding sites by a tailored polydentate trop-based (trop = 5<i>H</i>-dibenzo[<i>a</i>,<i>d</i>]cyclohepten-5-yl) ligand yields highly unsymmetric homobimetallic rhodium(i) complexes. Their reaction with hydrogen rapidly forms Rh hydrides that undergo an intramolecular semihydrogenation of two C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C bonds of the trop ligand. This reaction is chemoselective and converts C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C bonds to a bridging carbene and an olefinic li ...[more]
