Angew. Chemie Int. Ed. Supporting Information General Information: All manipulations, unless otherwise stated, were performed under an atmosphere of argon, using standard Schlenk-line and glove-box techniques. Glassware was oven dried at 130 C overnight and flamed under vacuum prior to use. CH Cl and pentane were dried over activated alumina, copper and molecular sieves using an MBraun solvent purification system. CD Cl, and CDCl 3 were distilled under vacuum from CaH. Acetone and d 6 -acetone were distilled under vacuum from B O 3. Petrol refers to the fraction of petroleum ether obtained between 40-60 o C. Microanalyses were performed by the University of Bath Microanalytical Service or by Elemental Microanalysis Limited. Flash chromatography was conducted under medium pressure, using matrix 60 silica. 1 H, 1 H{ 11 B}, 11 B, 11 B{ 1 H} and 31 P{ 1 H} NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance 400 MHz and Bruker Avance 300 MHz spectrometers. Residual protio solvent was used as reference for 1 H and 1 H{ 11 B} NMR spectra (CDCl 3 : = 7.6, CD Cl : = 5.33, d 6 -acetone: =.04, d 8 -toluene: =.09). 11 B, 11 B{ 1 H} and 31 P{ 1 H} spectra were referenced against BF 3.OEt (external) and 85% H 3 PO 4 (external) respectively. Chemical shifts are quoted in ppm. Coupling constants are quoted in Hz. IR spectra were recorded using NaCl discs. Gas chromatography was performed using a Perkin-Elmer GC, helium carrier gas (1 psi), injection volume 0. µl, oven temperature ramped between 60 and 180 C and a flame ionisation detector. Data was analysed using the TurboChrom software package. The starting materials Cs[CB 11 H 6 Cl 6 ], 1 Cs[CB 11 H 6 Br 6 ], 1 and [Rh(NBD)Cl] were prepared by published literature methods or variations thereof. The products obtained in Table, Entries 1-5 3,4 and entries 9 5 and 1, 6 provided data consistent with that in the literature. S

Preparation of [(DPPE)Rh(COCH CH SMe)H][CB 11 H 6 Br 6 ] To a solution of [(DPPE)Rh(acetone) ][CB 11 H 6 Br 6 ] (1. x10-5 moles) in d 6 -acetone (0.5 cm 3 ) 3-(methylthio)propionaldehyde (.4 µl,.4 x10-5 moles) was added. There was a colour change from red to yellow. The product was characterised in situ by NMR spectroscopy. Selected 1 H NMR (/ppm d 6 -acetone) 8.30-6.8 (m, 0H, ArH). 31 P{ 1 H} NMR (/ppm d 6 -acetone) 57.9 (d, J(RhP) 135 Hz), 38.7 (d, J(RhP) 70 Hz). Within 1 hour at room temperature the complex had decomposed to a mixture of products including the decarbonylation product (identified by mass spectrometry). X-ray Crystallography Structure solution, and full matrix least squares refinement on F (all data) was performed using SHELX 7. under the WinGX 1.70 package, 8. after using SORTAV 9. for absorbtion correction where indicated. In all structures, some disorder of the anion was evident. A, F and H were crystallized as their hexachlorocarborane salts, while E was crystallized as its hexabromocarborane salt. For A, one of the coordinated acetone ligands was disordered over two sites in the ratio 0.85 : 0.15, with concommitant positional disorder of the lattice acetone molecules. The lower occupancy coordinated acetone was modelled isotropically and all solvent acetone units were refined with geometry restraints. For F, the residual electron density in a solvent accessible void was accounted for using the Platon program SQEEZE. 10.
