- Abstract
An operationally simple, user and eco‐friendly synthetic protocol for the synthesis of [Rh(acac)(CO)(NHC)] complexes is described. Insights into the mechanism are provided using operando spectroscopy. The spectroscopic fingerprints of these complexes are correlated to NHCs reported electron‐donating descriptor values, highlighting a new strategy to evaluate carbenes' electronic properties. An assessment of these complexes in catalytic applications is also reported, showing promising results in the catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic ketones.
