Abstract
A careful reinvestigation of the synthesis of the long known complex [H(dmso)2][trans-RhCl4(dmso-S)2]2a has resulted in the isolation of the unprecedented cis isomer [H(dmso)2][cis-RhCl4(dmso-S)2]2b. The new isomer has been characterized spectroscopically and the crystal structure of the anion determined as the tetraethylammonium salt. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z= 4, a= 10.500(4), b= 17.054(3), c= 13.304(5)Å, β= 114.19(2)°. As in the case of the neutral isomers, mer,cis- and mer,trans-[RhCl3(dmso-S)2(dmso-O)]1a and 1b, respectively, the anionic trans derivative is thermodynamically unstable and isomerizes to the cis isomer in dmso solution with first order kinetics; the reverse cis to trans isomerization is promoted by visible light. A comparative investigation of the chemical behaviour of the two pairs of isomers 1 and 2 in aqueous solution, determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, has also been carried out. In both cases dissociation of the ligand trans to an S-bonded dmso ligand is the first step.Keywords
