Rh-103 NMR represents a powerful tool to assess the global electronic and steric contribution of diphosphine ligands on [Rh(COD)(diphosphine)](+) complexes. In the case of DIOP, BINAP and MeDUPHOS, this approach proved to be more informative than classical CO-stretching frequency measurements. After validation, this method has been extended to a set of seven diphosphines. Rh-103 NMR measurements on [Rh(COD)(diphosphine)]PF6 lead to the following order of donor properties: dppe > MeBPE > MeDUPHOS > dppb > DIOP > BINAP > Tol-BINAP. This trend has been validated by DFT in the case of DIOP, BINAP and MeDUPHOS. In conjunction, P-31 NMR chemical shift has been shown to reflect the ring constraints of the Rh-diphosphine scaffold. This contribution is a step towards a mechanistic investigation of the catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates by Rh-103 NMR and DFT. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
