Abstract
Work to extend the catalytic chemistry of rhodium and iridium, with particular emphasis on the great versatility of the former, is outlined and summarised. Topics addressed include the design of chelating N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, and the cyclisation of alkynes using rhodium and iridium phosphine compounds as reagents or catalysts. The work was carried out by Ph.D. students sponsored through the prize awarded by Johnson Matthey to the winner of their Rhodium Bicentenary Competition.
