N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of Rh: reaction with dioxygen without oxidation. Praetorius, M, J., Allen, P, D., Wang, R., Webb, D, J., Grein, F., Kennepohl, P., Crudden, & M, C. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 130(12):3724--5, March, 2008.
N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of Rh: reaction with dioxygen without oxidation. [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The reaction of oxygen with rhodium complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbenes was found to give dioxygen complexes with rare square planar geometries and unusually short O-O bond lengths. Analysis of the bonding in these complexes by Rh L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Raman spectroscopy, and DFT calculations provides evidence for a bonding model in which singlet oxygen is bound to a Rh(I) d8 metal complex, rather than the more common Rh(III) d6 peroxo species with octahedral geometry and O-O bond lengths in the 1.4-1.5 A range.
