Abstract
Abstract The crystal structure of cesium aquopentachlororhodate(III) has been determined by X-ray diffraction using counter techniques. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group D 2h 17-Amam with a=8.023(3) A, b=17.271(10) A, and c=7.353(4) A. The crystal sank in methylene iodide (density 3.32 g-cm−3) in agreement with a density of 3.69 g-cm−3 calculated for four formula units in the unit cell. A total of 679 independent reflections was used in solving the structure, which was refined to a conventional R factor of 0.065 and a weighted R factor of 0.069. The complex is approximately octahedral, with Rh-Cl distances of 2.300 A and 2.337 A, and a Rh-O distance of 2.096 A. The rhodium compound is isostructural with its ruthenium analogue.
