Abstract
The cation [Rh2(μ-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(μ-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.Keywords
