Abstract
This work reports a computational investigation of the effect of ancillary ligands on the activity of an Rh catalyst for hydrogen evolution based on the [Cp*Rh] motif (Cp* = η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl). Specifically, we investigate why a bipyridyl (bpy) ligand leads to H2 generation but diphenylphosphino-based (dpp) ligands do not. We compare the full ligands to simplified models and systematically vary structural features to ascertain their effect on the reaction energy of each catalytic step. The calculations based on density functional theory show that the main effect on reactivity is the choice of linker atom, followed by its coordination. In particular, P stabilizes the intermediate Rh-hydride species by donating electron density to the Rh, thus inhibiting the reaction toward H2 generation. Conversely, N, a more electron-withdrawing center, favors H2 generation at the price of destabilizing the hydride intermediate, which cannot be isolated experimentally and makes determining the mechanism of this reaction more difficult. We also find that the steric effects of bulky substituents on the main ligand scaffold can lead to large effects on the reactivity, which may be challenging to fine-tune. On the other hand, structural features like the bite angle of the bidentate ligand have a much smaller impact on reactivity. Therefore, we propose that the choice of linker atom is key for the catalytic activity of this species, which can be further fine-tuned by a proper choice of electron-directing groups on the ligand scaffold.

Abstract
The rhodium(III)-catalyzed reaction of aniline derivatives that contain a pyrimidine-directing group with vinylsilanes results in the formation of C3-substituted indoline derivatives. The reaction path and formation of the indoline product with density functional theory calculations were analyzed. This study reveals that the whole catalysis can be characterized in the following stages: (I) C-H activation via concerted metalation deprotonation, (II) 2,1-vinylsilane insertion, (III) deprotonation of the NH amide proton, (IV) the oxidation of Ag+, and (V) reductive elimination. These steps are kinetically and thermodynamically feasible for experimental realization under mild conditions, and the insertion step with a barrier of 22.0 kcal/mol should not only be the critical step of regioselectivity but also the rate-determining step during the whole catalysis. Computations reveal that the Ag+ oxidation can accelerate the reductive elimination step after the formation of natural intermediate, thus highlighting the role of Ag+ as a catalytic promoter for the oxidatively induced reactivity of the Rh catalyst in C3-substituted indoline synthesis.
