γ ‐C−H agostic stabilization of the 14‐electron metal center by a saturated hydrocarbon group characterizes the structure of the first neutral, three‐coordinate alkylrhodium( I ) complex [( κ 2 ‐dtbpm)RhNp] ( 1 ; dtbpm = bis(di‐ tert ‐butylphosphanyl)methane, Np=neopentyl). Some of its reactions, for example, N 2 complexation and C−H bond activation, are reported.
