The title compound, bis(μ-benzene-1,2-dithiolato)bis[(2-mercaptobenzenethiolato)triphenylphosphine)rhodium(III)] dichloromethane tetrasolvate, [Rh2(C6H4S2)2(C6H5S2)2(C18H15)2]·4CH2Cl2, isolated from the reaction of Wilkinson's catalyst RhCl(PPh3)3 and benzo[1,3,2]dithiaborole, is a neutral dinuclear species with two bridging benzenedithiolate ligands and two 2-mercaptobenzenethiolate ligands chelating each RhIII ion. This compound is derived from decomposition of the borole derivative after its oxidative addition to RhI. The compound crystallizes as the dichloromethane tetrasolvate. The molecule is centrosymmetric. The Rh—S distances in the Rh2S2 core are inequivalent, measuring 2.383 (1) and 2.409 (1) A. |
