On rhodium(III) chloride complexes with N,N-dimethylformamide
摘要:
A prolonged storage of a solution of RhCl3 center dot nH(2)O in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature is attended by the consecutive formation of two precipitates, which mainly contain the [(CH3)(2)NH2] [RhCl5(DMF)] complex (I) and the complex [RhCl3(DMF)(3)] (II) liberates. The addition of PPh4Cl to an aqueous solution of complex I brings about the precipitation of [PPh4][RhCl4(H2O)(2)] (III). Complex II (a mixture of mer- and fac-isomers) can be obtained also by treatment of [RhCl3(CH3CN)(3)] with DMF. In the course of the latter reaction, the formation of intermediate complex [RhCl3(CH3CN)(2)(DMF)] (IV) is observed. Complexes I-IV are characterized by elemental analysis; complexes I, II, and IV are characterized by the IR and H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra. The structures of III and IV are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
