Abstract

Unusual halocarbonyl anions of Rh(III) having the formula [Rh(CO)2(I)4]- were isolated and characterized as 2,6-diphenylpyridinium and -isoquinolinium salts during the hydrocarbonylation of methyl acetate using RhCl3·3H2O as catalyst. The 2,6-diphenylpyridine salt [Rh(CO)2I4]-[C17H14N]+ crystallizes in the space group P21/n, with a=12.274(1), b=12.650(2), c=15.884(2) Å, β=93.31(1)°, V=2462.2(4) Å3, Z=4, final R=0.048. X-ray analysis shows a distorted octahedral environment around rhodium and the existence of trans- [Rh(CO)2I4]- species. The structural features indicate the influence of countercations on the electrochemical characteristics and stabilization of the trans isomer.
