Title: Preparation, characterization and crystal structures of two amine-oxime rhodium complexes

Journal Article · · J. Coord. Chem.; (United States)

Two amine-oxime complexes of rhodium(III) have been synthesized and structurally characterized as model compounds for a study of potential radiopharmaceuticals. Dichlorobis (2-acetylpyridineoxime)-rhodium(III) crystallizes in space group Pnma with a = 13.462(4), b = 12.496(2), c = 9.661(2)A, Z = 4, D/sub x/ = 1.819(2)g/cm/sup 3/. The chloro ligands are trans (av Rh-Cl = 2.337(2)A) in the octahedral Rh(III) complex. The oxime oxygens are involved in a short intramolecular hydrogen bond (O---O = 2.446(4)A) with the hydrogen atom as well as the rhodium and two chlorine atoms on the mirror. Dichloro-(4,4'-(1,2-ethanediyldiimino)bis(4-methyl-2-pentanone-dioxime))rhodium (III) crystallizes in space group P2/sub 1/2/sub 1/2/sub 1/ with a = 14.435(3), b = 7.638(9), c = 16.596(3)A, Z = 4, D/sub x/ = 1.667(2)g/cm/sup 3/. The trans dichoro octahedral complex (av Rh downward arrow not identical to = 2.341(11)A) has cis amine nitrogens (av Rh-N = 2.079(3)A) and one cis oxime nitrogens (av Rh-N = 2.030(3)A). The oxime oxygen atoms are involved in a short intramolecular hydrogen bond (O---O = 2.423(3)A). Synthesis and proton magnetic resonance results are included, along with a comparison with other rhodium(III) amine-oxime complex structures.
