Bis(acetonitrile-N)(⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(pyrimidine-N)rhodium(III) bis(hexafluoridophosphate)

J. L. Boyer, S. R. Wilson and T. B. Rauchfuss

Abstract: The title compound, [Rh(C₁₀H₁₅)(C₄H₄N₂)(C₂H₃N)₂](PF₆)₂ or [Cp*Rh(NCMe)₂(N₂C₄H₄)](PF₆)₂, where Cp* is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, was obtained from the treatment of an acetonitrile solution of [Cp*Rh(NCMe)₃](PF₆)₂ with an excess of pyrimidine. The Rh^III center is coordinated by one Cp* ring, two acetonitrile ligands and one pyrimidine ligand in a pseudo-octahedral geometry. Both PF₆ anions are disordered (site occupancies ca 0.4:0.6, and 0.3:0.4:0.3).
