Concentrated solutions of sodium hexanitrorhodate(III) have been studied by /sup 103/Rh, /sup 17/O, /sup 14/N, and /sup 35/Cl NMR, as well as electronic and IR spectroscopy. It has been established that in solutions not containing acids the coordinated nitro groups undergo very slow replacement with the formation of mononuclear aquo acids and polynuclear species containing bridging hydroxo ligands. In acidic media the hexanitrorhodate(III) ions are rapidly converted into complex species containing three nitro groups, among which trinitrotriaquorhodium(III) has the greatest stability. The replacement of the three remaining nitro groups takes place slowly and results in the formation of chloroaquonitro compounds. The absence of additivity of the /sup 103/Rh chemical shifts in systems of nitro compounds of rhodium(III) has been established. The interaction of sodium hexanitrorhodate(III) with hydrochloric acid results in the formation of complex species containing coordinated water in all stages of the reaction. The processes taking place are not confined to substitution reactions, since they are accompanied by redox conversions. The mechanisms of these reactions have been discussed.
