“…Recently, the heptacyclic ligand (1), a bis(2,3-quinolino) derivative of cis,syn,cis-tricyclo-© 1989 International Union of Crystallography 16.3.0.03.71undecane, was prepared as indicated in the scheme ) and the crystal structure was determined (Marchand, Annapurna, Flippen-Anderson, Gilardi & George, 1988). Many potentially binucleating ligands such as 1,8-naphthyridine (Tiripicchio, Camellini, Uson, Oro, Ciriano & Viguri, 1984), 7-azaindole (Oro, Ciriano, Villarroya, Tiripicchio & Lahoz, 1984) and pyrazole and its derivatives (Uson, Oro, Ciriano, Carmona, Tiripicchio & Camellini, 1982) form complexes in which the ligand bridges binuclear Rh 2 units. In the case of amidinato complexes of Rh I with cod (1,5-cyclooctadiene), tfbb (tetrafluorobenzo15,61bicyclo12.2.21-octa-2,5,7-triene) and nbd (norbornadiene) both mononuclear and binuclear Rh t complexes can be prepared depending upon the nature of the two ligands and upon the resulting steric interactions (Lahoz, Tiripicchio, Camellini, Oro & Pinillos, 1985).…”
