Deskripsi

The complex molecule of the title compound, [Rh2{N(C6H5)COCH3}4(NCC7H7)], has crystallographically-imposed mirror symmetry. The four acetamide ligands bridging the dirhodium core are arranged in a 2,2-cis manner with two N atoms and two O atoms coordinating to the unique RhII atom cis to one another. The Neq—Rh—Rh—Oeq torsion angles on the acetamide bridge are 0.75 (7) and 1.99 (9)°. The axial nitrile ligand completes the distorted octahedral coordination sphere of one RhII atom and shows a nonlinear coordination, with an Rh—N—C bond angle of 162.8 (5)°; the N—C bond length is 1.154 (7) Å.
