Structure, dynamics and Isomerism of Bis[?-(2-methylphenolato)]bis[(?2:?2-cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I)] Complex

Abstract

Dinuclear rhodium(I) complex [{Rh-I(cod)}(2)(mu-OC6H4-2-Me)(2)] (1), exhibits the syn-anti isomerism consisting in the orientation of methyl groups of the bridge ligands with respect to the plane or distorted plane involving Rh and O atoms.
