Popis: We have found1 that 546 nm irradiation of solutions of the binuclear Rh(I) complex Rh2(bridge)4 2+ (bridge = 1, 3-diisocyano- propane), or Rh2 2+, in 12 M HCl(aq) results in clean conversion to H2 and a Rh(II) complex. The Rh(II) complex can also be prepared by Cl2 oxidation and has been structurally characterized.2 Recent work in our laboratory has shown that a thermal reaction generates the blue photoactive species, Rh4C12 4+, as follows: Open image in new window Notably, the photochemical step is uphill, as H2 reacts slowly with Rh2C12 2+ to regenerate Rh4C12 4+.
