Abstract:In the title complex, [Rh(C(6)H(16)P(2))(2)][RhCl(2)(C(8)H(12))], the asymmetric unit contains two [Rh(dmpe)(2)] [dmpe = 1,2-bis-(dimethyl-phosphino)ethane] half-cations, lying on inversion centers, a...In the title complex, [Rh(C(6)H(16)P(2))(2)][RhCl(2)(C(8)H(12))], the asymmetric unit contains two [Rh(dmpe)(2)] [dmpe = 1,2-bis-(dimethyl-phosphino)ethane] half-cations, lying on inversion centers, and an [RhCl(2)(cod)](-) (cod = 1,5-cyclo-octa-diene) anion, wherein Rh is coordinated by two chloride ligands and two olefinic π-bonds of the cyclo-octa-diene ligand. The Rh atoms in the cations and anion exhibit square-planar coordination and are separated without any unusual inter-actions.Read More
