The PHIP‐NMR method (PHIP = parahydrogen induced polarization) can be used to detect dihydride catalyst–substrate complexes of the general formula [Rh(PP)(XX)(H) 2 ]BF 4 (shown on the right, XX = dimethyl itaconate as substrate), which are formed in situ under hydrogenation conditions with chiral bis(phosphinite)rhodium( I ) catalysts. Remarkable is the absence of typical (H,P) trans coupling ( 2 J (H,P) trans ); the RhP bond trans to H B is therefore lenthened, and the octahedral geometry distorted.
