Resumen
The synthesis and properties of polynuclear complexes of general formulae [M(RIm)(diolefin)x, [M(RIm)(CO)2]x and [M(RIm)(CO)L]x (M Rh, Ir; RIm imidazolate, 2-methylimidazolate, 2-benzylbenzimidazolate; L PPh3 or P(OPh)3) are reported. The crystal structure of the novel complex [Rh(2-MeIm)-(CO)2]4 (2-MeIm 2-methylimidazolate) has been determined by X-ray methods. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with Z 4 in a unit cell of dimensions a 19.427(12), b 13.419(8), c 12.346(9) Å. The structure has been solved by combined Patterson and direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R 0.043 for 937 independent observed reflections. It consists of discrete tetrameric complexes in which each Rh atom is in a nearly cis square planar arrangement, bonded to two carbon atoms of carbonyl groups and to two nitrogen atoms of two 2-methylimidazolate ligands, each of which, acting as an exo-bidentate ligand, bridging two metal atoms, so that the four bridging 2-MeIm ligands and the four Rh atoms form a multiatomic ring. © 1982.
