Crystal structures of fac-tri­chlorido­tris­­(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) monohydrate and fac-tri­chlorido­tris­­(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) methanol hemisolvate: rhodium structures that are isotypic with their iridium analogs. Acta Crystallographica Section E, 71(2), 226-230. doi:doi:10.1107/S205698901500151http://hdl.handle.net/10919/72970The crystal structures of two solvates of fac-tri-chlorido-tris-(tri-methyl-phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) are reported, i.e. one with water in the crystal lattice, fac-[RhCl3(Me3P)3]·H2O, and one with methanol in the crystal lattice, fac-[RhCl3(Me3P)3]·0.5CH3OH. These rhodium compounds exhibit distorted octahedral coordination spheres at the metal and are isotypic with the analogous iridium compounds previously reported by us [Merola et al. (2013). Polyhedron, 54, 67-73]. Comparison is made between the rhodium and iridium compounds, highlighting their isostructural relationships.226 - 230 page(s)application/pdfCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 Internationalcrystal structureiridiumisotypismphosphane ligandsrhodiumCrystal structures of fac-tri-chlorido-tris-(tri-methyl-phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) monohydrate and fac-tri-chlorido-tris-(tri-methyl-phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) methanol hemisolvate: rhodium structures that are isotypic with their iridium analogs.Article - RefereedActa Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports Onlinehttps://doi.org/10.1107/S205698901500151671Pt 2http://journals.iucr.org/e/issues/2015/02/00/pk2543/index.html2056-9890
