A methyl-coordinated Rh^III ion in methylpentaamminerhodium(III)-chloropentaamminerhodium(III)-dithionate (0.73/2.27/3)

P. Harris and P. Kofod

Abstract: Some disorder is seen in the crystal structure of [Rh(CH₃)(NH₃)₅]_0.73[RhCl(NH₃)₅]_2.27(S₂O₆)₃. It is, however, clear that the methyl group has a pronounced trans influence on the Rh-N distance, with an elongation of 0.11 Å. No trans influence is observed for the Rh-N distance due to the Cl^- ion. Both observations are in agreement with observations in equivalent cobalt complexes.
