Half-sandwich type rhodium(iii)–aminohydroxamate complexes: the role of the position of the amino group in metal ion binding

Abstract

Relative order of the pH-dependent conditional stability of the hydroxamate type (O,O) and (Namino,Nhydroxamato) chelates determines the coordination modes in the various mono- and dinuclear complexes of [(η5-Cp*)RhIII(H2O)3]2+ with α-, β- and γ-aminohydroxamic acids.
