Question #105134
The 16 electron dirhodium complex, Rh 2 (CO) 4 Cl 2 can in principle have five structural
isomers possible, all having 16 electrons per rhodium center.
(a) Draw these isomeric structures.
(b) Given that the IR spectra of this compound give bands for CO in the range of
2012-2086 cm -1 only, and that 2 bridging is favored over metal-metal bond
formation in this complex, predict the most probable structure among the five
structural isomers possible.
