p>103p>Rh NMR parameters and the bonding structure of three complexes of [Cp*RhX₂]₂, where X = Cl, Br, or I, have been studied with the help of natural bond orbitals (NBOs) and natural localized molecular orbitals (NLMOs). The complexes of [Cp*RhX₂]₂, where X = Cl, Br, or I, have similar bonding structures, with the major difference being in the degree of covalency of the Rh–X bonds. The decomposition of p>103p>Rh NMR shielding into diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and spin–orbit terms shows that normal halogen dependence (NHD) of the p>103p>Rh NMR shift is defined mostly by the paramagnetic term, with the spin–orbit term being significantly smaller. The decomposition of p>103p>Rh shielding into spin-free NBO and NLMO contributions shows that p>103p>Rh shielding is dominated by Rh d-orbital deshielding contributions. We explain the NHD of the p>103p>Rh NMR shift with the increase in the energies of the virtual antibonding Rh–X orbitals along the X = Cl, Br, and I series.
