Electrochemically driven rhodium(III)‐catalyzed aryl C–H phosphorylation reactions proceed by H 2 evolution without the need for sacrificial chemical oxidants, as described by T.‐B. Wen, H.‐J. Zhang, H.‐C. Xu, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 16770 ff. A key step of the electrosynthesis involves anodic oxidation of a rhoda(III)cycle to a higher oxidation state to induce reductive elimination. The design illustrates electrifying the Rh center of a key organometallic complex in the catalytic cycle.
