16. Calculations were carried out with the Gaussian03 series of programs using the B3LYP functional. The basis set for Rh and P atoms was LANL2DZ, which in the case of P was supplemented by a d shell. For the atoms O and N directly attached to rhodium and the ester group of the carbene we used the 6-31G(d) basis set; for the rest of the atoms the 6-31G basis set was used. See the Supporting Information for further details.

20. 3 ligands axially bound to 1a-c show the same ordering of frontier molecular orbitals and an analogous correlation between the HOMO energies and the oxidation potentials (see Table S5 and Figure S2 in the Supporting Information).
