Abstract

Coordination of [Rh I(ED)Cl] 2 and [Rh I(Chel)(ED)] + complexes (ED=1,5-hexadiene; Chel=2,2'-bipyridine and 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) in poly(pyrrole-2,2'-bipyridine) films has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in CH 3CN electrolyte, and by FT-IR. In any case, the formation of stable poly[Rh(Chel)(ED)] + films contrasts to that observed in the presence of an excess of Chel in acetonitrile, where the reaction of rhodium(I) complexes containing the labile ED ligand leads to [Rh(Chel) 2] + species.
