Crystal structure of tetra-kis-(?-N-phenyl-acetamidato)-?(4) N:O;?(4) O:N-bis-[(2-methyl-benzo-nitrile-?N)rhodium(II)](Rh-Rh).


ABSTRACT: The complex molecule of the title compound, [Rh2{N(C6H5)COCH3}4(C8H7N)2], exhibits inversion symmetry. The four acetamidate ligands bridging the dirhodium core are arranged in a 2,2-trans manner with two N atoms and two O atoms coordinating to each Rh(II) atom trans to one another. The Neq-Rh-Rh-Oeq torsion angles on the acetamidate bridge vary between -4.07?(5) and -6.78?(7)°. The axial nitrile ligands complete the distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere of each Rh(II) atom and show a nonlinear coordination with Rh-N-C bond angles of 151.6?(3) and 152.5?(3)°. The bond lengths of the two nitrile triple bonds are 1.133?(5) and 1.137?(5)?Å.
