Low-temperature phase of diaqua(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate

J. W. Bats, A. Rivas Nass and A. S. K. Hashmi

Abstract: Crystals of the title compound, [Rh(C₈H₁₂)(H₂O)₂](CF₃SO₃), undergo a reversible phase transition at 215 (2) K. The high-temperature structure is disordered in space group P2₁/m with Z' = ½, while the twinned low-temperature structure is ordered in space group P $\overline 1$ with Z' = 2.
