Reactions of rhodium (II) acetate with non-lacunary Keggin and Dawson polyoxoanions and related catalytic studies

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Dirhodium Tetraacetate-Di(cyclohexylisocyanide) Complex

“…Moreover, the shortest Rh-O distances along the axial direction in 1 are Rh1-O1 = 2.0442 (19) Å and Rh1-O2 #1 = 2.050(2) Å. The Rh1-Rh1 #1 distance is 2.4333(6) Å, which is accordance with the literature data that the majority of tetracarboxylato Rh-Rh distances are in the range of 2.35-2.45 Å [15,16].…”

Linear One-Dimensional Coordination Polymers Constructed by Dirhodium Paddlewheel and Tetracyanido-Metallate Building Blocks

“…Moreover, dirhodium units have been used to form one-dimensional coordination compounds using bridging ligands between the dimetallic cores [18][19][20][21]. The use of other metal complexes as connectors between the paddlewheel units can lead to the formation of heterometallic one-dimensional coordination polymers, whose versatile chemical and physical properties, such as temperature dependent luminescence or modulation of their electronic structures, make those polymers promising materials [22][23][24][25]. An interesting approach to obtain this kind of heterometallic one-dimensional polymers is the use of platinum complexes to form {[Rh 2 ]-[Pt 2 ]-[Pt 2 ]} n chains, in which the different dimetallic units show direct Rh-Pt metal-metal bonds [26][27][28][29].…”

Synthesis, crystal structures and catalytic activity of tetrakis(acetato)dirhodium(II) complexes with axial picoline ligands

“…Dirhodium(II) tetracarboxylates of type Rh 2 (O 2 CR) 4 L 2 , in which the four carboxylates (the equatorial ligands) bridge the two rhodium atoms and L represents a Lewis base (the axial ligands) bound to the Rh-Rh axis, have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their potential applications as catalysts [1][2][3][4][5][6], antitumor agents [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and building blocks for supramolecular arrays [14][15][16]. Dirhodium(II) tetracarboxylates are quite stable and can be used to construct various new derivatives via equatorial ligand substitution or axial ligand exchange [16,17].…”
