A comparative study of the coordination modes of a (thiophosphinoyl)(trimethylsilyl)methanide ( 1 – ·Li + ) and bis(thiophosphinoyl)methanide ( 2 – ·Li + ) ligand with Rh I was carried out. Several complexes were synthesized and characterized. For 1 – ·Li + , C~S coordination is forced, whereas for 2 – ·Li + , S~S and C~S coordination can be achieved. In one case, a dynamic equilibrium between these two modes of coordination was observed. DFT calculations were carried out to rationalize this phenomenon and the stability of the methanide compounds.
