L. Liu, Q.-F. Zhang and W.-H. Leung

Abstract: In the cation of the title compound, [Rh₂Cl₃(C₁₀H₁₅)₂]BF₄, two Rh(⁵-C₅Me₅) fragments are linked by three bridging Cl atoms. Each rhodium center has a pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry, with a C₅Me₅ group occupying three positions and three Cl atoms completing the coordination. The average Rh-Cl bond length is 2.450  Å and the average Rh-Cl-Rh bond angle is 81.6°.
