Synthesis and molecular structure of the amido-bridged dinuclear rhodium complex [Cp*Rh{mu(2)-(NH)(2)C10H6-2,3}(mu(2)-Cl)RhCp*][PF6] (Cp* = eta(5)-C5Me5)
Reaction of [Cp*RhCl2](2) (1) with (LiNH)(2)C10H6-2,3 gives the mononuclear species Cp*Rh(NH)(2)C10H6-2,3 (3), which is selectively converted to the amido-bridged dinuclear Rh(III) complex [Cp*Rh{mu(2)-(NH)(2)C10H6-2,3}(mu(2)-Cl)RhCp*]PF6 (4; Cp* = eta(5)-C5Me5) upon treatment with 1/AgPF6 in acetone. The molecular structure of 4 has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
