Two tridentate thioether pincer ligands, 1,3-(RSCH(2))(2)C(6)H(4) (R = (t)()Bu, 1a; R = (i)()Pr, 1b) underwent cyclometalation using [(COE)(2)RhCl](2) in air/moisture-free benzene at room temperature. The resultant complexes, [mu-ClRh(H)(RSCH(2))(2)C(6)H(3)-2,6](2) (R = (t)Bu, 2a; R = (i)Pr, 2b) are dimeric both in the solid state and in solution. A battery of variable-temperature one- and two-dimensional (1)H NMR experiments showed conclusively that both complexes undergo dynamic exchange in solution. Exchange between two dimeric diastereomers of 2a in solution occurred via rotation about the Rh-C(ipso) bond. The dynamic exchange of 2b was significantly more complex as an additional exchange mechanism, sulfur inversion, occurred, which resulted in the exchange between several diastereomers in solution.
