Crystal polymorphism and crystalline-state photochromism of a rhodium dithionite complex with n-methoxypropyl moieties

Abstract

A rhodium dinuclear complex having n-methoxypropyltetramethylcyclopentadienyl (CpMPro = η5-C5Me4n-C3H6OCH3) and photoresponsive dithionite (μ-O2SSO2) ligands, [(CpMProRh)2(μ-CH2)2(μ-O2SSO2] (1MPro), was found to form two polymorphic crystals (a previously reported brock-like α-crystal and a...
