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.

Amber Alert Alert Level B:
PLAT_111 Alert B ADDSYM detects (pseudo) centre of symmetry ... 92 Perc Fit
Author response: Structure solution and refinement has been attempted in several space groups. In P-1 this leads to disorder, unrealistic thermal parameters and an R1-factor of 0.1408 (for anisotropic thermal parameters, but without hydrogen atoms included). In P1 the solution is identical to the solution in Im and R1=0.0499 (for anisotropic thermal parameters, but without hydrogen atoms included).

Experimental. Gaussian integration (Coppens, 1970)

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
