Nonbridged metal dimers of phenanthroline-based N2O2 ligands of rhodium and iridiumhave been synthesized from the reactions of metal hydrides with TEMPO (2,2',6,6'-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy). Modification of phenathroline ligands has led to more lipophilicmetal complexes. The oxidative additions of the metal dimers with methyl iodide, silane,and hydrogen have been studied.
