R. Dreosgarlatti et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF [PYRH(SALEN)ADAM], AN ADAMANTYL RH-III COMPLEX CONTAINING BIS(SALICYLALDEHYDE)ETHYLENDIIMINATE AS EQUATORIAL LIGAND, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 487(1-2), 1995, pp. 24-26
The determination of the X-ray structure and formation constant of a R
h-III organometallic complex containing bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylendii
minate [(pyridine)Rh(salen)(adamantyl)], revealed a cis-influence on t
he axial metal-nitrogen bond significantly greater than that found in
the analogous dimethylglyoximate. Comparison of the formation constant
s suggests that the stability of the hexacoordinate species with respe
ct to the pentacoordinate species in Rh complexes is greater than that
for Co complexes.
