Coupling dirhodium units through terpyridine bridges: synthesis and structure of a novel molecular rectangle Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The cation [Rh2(-O2CMe)2(MeCN)6]2+ reacts with the bis-terpyridine ligand 2,3,5,6-tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine (tppz) to yield the reduced compound [Rh4(-O2CMe)2(tppz)2-(MeOH) 4]4+ whose structure is that of molecular rectangle with edges defined by short Rh-Rh and long Rh-tppz-Rh units.
