The reaction of (5-Ph2P-Ace-6-)2MeSiH with [(C2H4)2RhCl]2 proceeded via elimination of ethylene and oxidative addition of the Si–H bond at rhodium and provided the rhodium(III) complex (5-Ph2P-Ace-6-)2MeSiRh(H)Cl (1) possessing a reverse agostic interaction of the type Rh–H···Si, which was characterized by Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. This technique allows the precise and accurate determination of hydrogen positions also for heavier transition-metal hydrides. The bonding situation in the Rh–H···Si interaction was further analyzed using a set of complementary bonding indicators, such as the compliance matrix analysis or real-space bonding indicators derived from the electron and electron pair densities. The reaction of (5-Ph2P-Ace-6-)2MeSiH with [(CO)2RhCl]2 occurred via elimination of hydrogen chloride and produced the rhodium(I) complex (5-Ph2P-Ace-6-)2MeSiRh(CO)2 (2).
