Abstract
Three gases, one crystal: Rhodium NHC complexes undergo back-to-back single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations by selective nonreversible ligand exchange reactions (see picture). Slow diffusion of O2 converts a dinitrogen complex into a dioxygen complex, and CO subsequently replaces O2.
