Synthesis and X-ray crystal and molecular structure of [{RhFe(µ-PPh2)2-(µ-CO)(CO)3}2], an unusual tetranuclear compound with a straight-chain structure
Abstract
Treatment of [{Rh(η-C3H5)2Cl}2] with [Fe(CO)4-(PPh2H)] in benzene in the presence of CO affords the mixed metal tetranuclear derivative [{RhFe(µ-PPh2)2(µ-CO)(CO)3}2], the structure of which has been determined X-ray crystallographically.
