The title compound, [Rh2(C7H5O2)4(C5H11N)2], an adduct of dimeric rhodium(II) benzoate with piperidine, was prepared. The complex lies across an inversion centre with the unique RhII ion in a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment.

Structure description

The mol­ecular structure lies across an inversion centre and the coordination geometry around the rhodium atoms is slightly distorted octa­hedral (Fig. 1[link]). The Rh1—Rh1(−x, −y + 2, −z) distance is 2.4116 (2) Å, which is comparable to the value of 2.402 (2) Å determined for the corresponding bis­pyridine complex [Rh2(bzt)4(py)2] (Mehmet & Tocher, 1991[Mehmet, N. & Tocher, D. A. (1991). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 188, 71-77.]). As a result of the sp2-hybridized nitro­gen atoms, the rhodium nitro­gen distance of 2.246 (4) in the latter mol­ecule is shorter, compared to the value of 2.3083 (13) Å found for the title compound. In [Rh2(bzt)4(pip)2], individual C—O distances vary within a narrow range of 0.008 (2) Å thus pointing towards an almost symmetric charge distribution within the carboxyl­ato groups. A deviation of 0.0763 (5) Å from the plane defined by the square arrangement of the oxygen atoms was determined for the symmetry-equivalent rhodium atoms. The piperidine mol­ecules adopt chair conformations.

Synthesis and crystallization

A procedure analogous to that for the pyridine adduct has been applied (Legzdins et al., 1970[Legzdins, P., Mitchell, R. W., Rempel, G. L., Ruddick, J. D. & Wilkinson, G. J. (1970). J. Chem. Soc. A, pp. 3322-3326.]). A stirred solution of rhodium trichloride trihydrate (1 g, 0.0038 mol) in methanol (125 ml) was treated with solid benzoic acid (12 g, 0.098 mol), solid sodium benzoate (5 g, 0.0035 mol) and with piperidine (8.515 g, 0.1 mol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 1 h, and the formed precipitate was filtered off. The product was then washed with methanol (2 × 5 ml) and recrystallized from chloro­form/diethyl ether (2:1) to give the title compound as carmine, air-stable crystals. Yield: 0.290 g (0.340 mmol, 18%). Elemental analysis (calculated for Rh2C38H42N2O8, M = 860.58 g mol−1): C, 52.60 (53.04); H, 5.04 (4.92); N, 3.18 (3.26); Rh, 24.12 (23.92)%.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
