The dimeric tetraacetato bridged Rh2(0COCH3) has been obtained by the interaction of ammonium chlororhodate(II1) or rhodium(II1) hydroxide with acetic a~i d , l -~ Other (carboxylato)rhodium(II) compounds were prepared directly in a similar way or from the acetate by e x~h a n g e .~?~ Halo carboxylates (RCOO-, R = CC13, CF3, CH2C1, etc.) were prepared also by interaction of rhodium trichloride with the appropriate sodium salt in ethan01.~ The carboxylatcs are normally first isolated as a solvent adduct, e.g., [Rh(OCOR) z.CzH50H]2 but are easily converted to the unsolvated complex. The acetate is readily prepared in a modification of this last procedure. A similar method is satisfactory for the preparation of other lower carboxylates as well as halo carboxylates. ProcedureCommercial rhodium trichloride trihydrate (5.0 g.) and sodium acetate trihydrate (10.0 g.) in glacial acetic acid (100 ml.) and absolute ethanol (100 ml.) were gently refluxed under nitrogen for an hour.The initial red solution rapidly becomes green, and a green solid is deposited. After cooling t o room temperature the green
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
