Abstract
Interaction of [Rh(TPP)CH3] (TTP = 5,10,1 5,20-tetra(p-tolyl)porphyrin dian ion) with bidentate ligands L affords [Rh(TTP)CH3](2)(mu-L) (L = 4-cyanopyr idine (1) or 4,4'-bipyridine (2)). The structure of 1 has been established by X-ray crystallography. The average Rh-C, average Rh-N(pyrrole), and aver age Rh-N(CNpy) distances in 1 are 2.032(4), 2.032, and 2.273(4) A, respecti vely. The reaction of Na[Rh(TTP)] with (5-norbornen-2-yl)methyl iodide (C8H 11I) affords [Rh(TTP)(C8H11)] (5), which has been characterized by X-ray di ffraction study. The Rh-C and average Rh-N distance in 5 are 2.052(6) and 2 .022 Angstrom, respectively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights rese rved.
