Abstract
Reaction of [Cp*RhCl2]2 (1) with (LiNH)2C10H6-2,3 gives the mononuclear species Cp*Rh(NH)2C10H6-2,3 (3), which is selectively converted to the amido-bridged dinuclear Rh(III) complex [Cp*Rh{μ2-(NH)2C10H6-2,3}(μ2-Cl)RhCp*]PF6 (4; Cp* = η5-C5Me5) upon treatment with 1/AgPF6 in acetone. The molecular structure of 4 has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
