Popis: Reaction of in situ lithiated N-methylimidazole or 1,5,6-trimethylbenzimidazole with [M(cod)(μ-Cl)]2 (M = Rh, Ir) led to the exclusive formation of the homodinuclear head-to-head complexes [2]–[5], where the metal centers are bridged by two C,N-coordinated azolato ligands. The two metal centers are each coordinated by one cod ligand and either two carbon or two nitrogen donors of the azolato ligands. Access to a heterodinuclear Ir/Rh complex [6] was achieved via the lithiated iridium complex [7] and addition of an equimolar amount of [Rh(cod)(μ-Cl)]2. Deprotonation of caffeine with lithium diisopropylamide and addition of [M(cod)(μ-Cl)]2 (M = Rh, Ir) led to mixtures of the head-to-head (M = Ir: [8H–H]; M = Rh: [9H–H]) and head-to-tail isomers (M = Ir: [8H–T]; M = Rh: [9H–T]) of the homodinuclear complexes. The molecular structures of the homo- and heterodinuclear complexes [3], [5]·2C6H5F, [6]·2C6H5F, and [9H–T]·C4H8O have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.
