Title: Chemical oxidation of binuclear rhodium(I) complexes with silver salts. Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the paramagnetic Rh/sub 2//sup 5 +/ formamidinate complex Rh/sub 2/(Form)/sub 3/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/

A synthetic route is presented for the synthesis of the mixed-ligand complex Rh/sub 2/(Form)/sub 2/(O/sub 2/CCF/sub 3/)/sub 2/(H/sub 2/O)/sub 2/ )Form = (p-MeC/sub 6/H/sub 4/NC(H)NC/sub 6/H/sub 4/Me-p)/sup -/) containing the Rh/sub 24//sup +/ core/sup 6/ and the mixed-valence complex Rh/sub 2/(Form)/sub 3/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ containing the Rh/sub 2//sup 5 +/ core. This method is based on the chemical oxidation with the appropriate silver salt of the Rh(I) formamidinate complex (Rh(C/sub 8/H/sub 12/)(Form))/sub 2/. In this paper the synthesis, the spectroscopic properties, and the X-ray crystal structure of the complex Rh/sub 2/(Form)/sub 3/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ are described. 12 references, 1 figure, 3 tables.
