on

m a t h f r a k n

are in bijective correspondence to post-Lie algebra structures on pairs

(m a t h f r a k g, m a t h f r a k n)

, where

m a t h f r a k n

is complete. We use such Rota--Baxter operators to study the existence and classification of post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras

(m a t h f r a k g, m a t h f r a k n)

, where

m a t h f r a k n

is semisimple. We show that for semisimple

m a t h f r a k g

and

m a t h f r a k n

, with

m a t h f r a k g

or

m a t h f r a k n

simple, the existence of a post-Lie algebra structure on such a pair

(m a t h f r a k g, m a t h f r a k n)

implies that

m a t h f r a k g

and

m a t h f r a k n

are isomorphic, and hence both simple. If

m a t h f r a k n

is semisimple, but

m a t h f r a k g

is not, it becomes much harder to classify post-Lie algebra structures on

(m a t h f r a k g, m a t h f r a k n)

, or even to determine the Lie algebras

m a t h f r a k g

which can arise. Here only the case

m a t h f r a k n = m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2} (B b b C)

was studied. In this paper we determine all Lie algebras

m a t h f r a k g

such that there exists a post-Lie algebra structure on

(m a t h f r a k g, m a t h f r a k n)

with

m a t h f r a k n = m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2} (B b b C) o p l u s m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2} (B b b C)
