The synthesis and X-ray structures are reported for [(η6-hydroquinone)Rh(P(OPh)3)2]+X- (X = BF4, ClO4, SbF6, OTf, OTs, OPf), [(η6-resorcinol)Rh(P(OPh)3)2]+BF4-, and [(η6-4,4‘-biphenol)Rh(P(OPh)3)2]+BF4-. In these complexes, the −OH groups are activated by the electrophilic rhodium moiety to participate ...
