Abstract
Abstract Hydrated rhodium(III) chloride reacts with azobenzene (HAzb) affording RhCl3(PhNH2)2 and the dimeric [(Azb)2RhCl]2. The latter reacts with donor ligands to give (Azb)2RhCl(L), (LPPh3, tetrahydrofuran). With [Rh(CO)2Cl]2, azobenzene affords an unusual RhIRhIII complex, [(Azb)2RhCl2Rh(CO)2], which can also be obtained from [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 and [(Azb)2RhCl]2. These complexes contain the ortho-metallated (phenylazo)phenyl-2C,N′ ligand, and their spectroscopic properties are summarised.
