Abstract
Rhodium(III) chloride reacts with 2,5-dithiahexane and 1,2-di(phenylthio)ethane to form complexes of the types [RhCl3B]n and [RhX2B2]+Y–, where X = Cl or Br and Y = Cl, ClO4,½S2O8, PF6, or BPh4. The complexes [RhCl3B]n are probably halogen-bridged dimers. The reactivity of several of these complexes has been investigated. The [RhCl2B2]+ cation, where B = 2,5-dithiahexane, has a trans- pseudo-octahedral configuration, and the isomerisation of the co-ordinated ligand molecules has been studied using far-infrared spectroscopy and proton magnetic resonance measurements. The significance of these results is discussed. The preparation and properties of the complexes cis-RhX3(C4H8OS)3, where X = Cl, Br, or I, are also described.Keywords
