Figure 4. Crystallographic monitoring of rhodium-acylnitrenoid transfer

Caption

The researchers additionally prepared a cocrystal of rhodium-dioxazolone and an acetone molecule, which allowed them to conduct further photocrystallographic analysis to monitor the nitrenoid transfer toward an acetone molecule as an external nucleophile. These results corroborate the electrophilic reactivity nature of the rhodium-acylnitrenoid intermediate.
