R. Fandos and M. D. Walter

Abstract: In the title compound, [Rh₂(C₅H₄N)₂(C₈H₁₂)₂], the two rhodium(I) centres are coordinated by one ⁴-cycloocta-1,5-diene ligand, and by a pyridinyl 1-oxide ortho-C atom from one bridging pyridinyl 1-oxide group and by a pyridinyl 1-oxide O atom from the other. The molecule has approximate C₂ symmetry, with the pseudo-C₂ axis perpendicular to the RhRh vector.
