Synthesis and X-ray structure of the anion [Rh9(µ3-CO)3(µ-CO)9(CO)7]3– containing a cofacial bioctahedral rhodium cluster
Abstract
The novel anion [Rh9(CO)19]3–, obtained by condensation between the anions [Rh4(CO)11]2– and [Rh5(CO)15]–, contains a Rh9 metal-atom cluster formed by two condensed octahedral sharing a face.
