The dirhodium complex, [Rh2(C18H15P)4(CO)2]·2(CH3)2CO, has crystallographic twofold symmetry and the Rh-Rh distance is 2.6266 (8) Å. The four atoms proximate to each Rh atom [Rh-P = 2.3222 (7) and 2.3283 (8) Å, and Rh-C = 1.961 (3) and 2.045 (3) Å] form a distorted tetra­hedron with large deviations from the putative tetra­hedral angles [r.m.s. deviation = 23 (1)°]. The six angles more closely approximate those of a trigonal bipyramid [r.m.s. deviation = 14 (1)°] with one missing equatorial ligand. The two bridging carbonyl ligands are much more linearly coordinated to one Rh [Rh-C[triple bond]O = 151.0 (2)°] than to the other [127.0 (2)°], and the two Rh2CO planes form a dihedral angle of 45.43 (5)°. The two acetone solvent mol­ecules are disordered, and their estimated scattering contribution was subtracted from the observed diffraction data using the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155].

Comment top

The dirhodium complex (I), (Rh(CO)(PPh3)2)2, is a precursor for HRh(CO)2(PPh3)2, a hydroformylation catalyst. A less precise crystal structure of I, as the dichloromethane solvate, was reported by Singh et al. (1973). In both solvates, the complex lies on a crystallographic twofold axis, with Rh—Rh = 2.6266 (8) Å (Singh et al.: 2.630 (1) Å). The four atoms proximate to Rh (Rh—P1 = 2.3222 (7), Rh—P2 = 2.3283 (8), Rh—C40 = 1.961 (3), Rh—C40' = 2.045 (3) Å) form a distorted tetrahedron, but the six angles deviate markedly from the ideal tetrahedral angle (δr.m.s. = 23 (1)°). The angles approximate more closely those of a trigonal bipyramid (δr.m.s. = 14 (1)°), with P1 and C40 in axial and P2 and C40' in equatorial positions, wth one equatorial position vacant. The two bridging carbonyl ligands do not lie in the same plane, the two Rh2CO planes forming a dihedral angle of 45.43 (5)°. Furthermore, each carbonyl is asymmetrically coordinated to the two Rh atoms, with a Rh—C distance of 1.961 (3) Å and Rh—CO angle 151.0 (2)° to one Rh, 2.045 (3) Å and 127.0 (2)° to the other. This asymmetric carbonyl bridging is also seen in the DCM solvate structure (Singh et al., 1973).

Experimental top

Rh2(CO)2(PPh3)4 was synthesized from Rh(acac)(CO)2 and excess triphenylphosphine under hydroformylation conditions, with acetone as solvent: A small autoclave was charged with a solution of Rh(acac)(CO)2 (0.010 g), PPh3 (9.750 g), and 1-hexene 7.883 g) in acetone (40 ml) while inside a glovebox. The autoclave was sealed, removed from the glovebox, and placed in a heating mantle. The headspace of the autoclave was purged with syn gas (1:1 H2:CO, 3 x 60psig purges), and pressurized to 60psig with syn gas. The vessel was heated to 80°C and the syn gas pressure was adjusted to 80psig. After 18 h, the vessel was depressurized and purged with nitrogen (3x 60psig). The reaction mixture was analyzed with 1H NMR: 91% aldehydes, 6.7% olefin isomerization, 2.2% 1-hexene. The n/i ratio of the aldehydes were 13.6. The reaction mixture slowly concentrated upon sitting in a glove box to afford a few red crystals of (I).

Refinement top

Each cavity (estimated volume 288 Å3) associated with a dirhodium molecule contains two disordered acetone molecules, for which no reasonable model could be developed. Therefore, the observed structure amplitudes were modified by PLATON/SQUEEZE (Spek, 2009) to subtract the scattering contribution of the electron density found in each cavity.

All H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C(sp3)—H = 0.96 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), and C(sp2)—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), and thereafter allowed to ride the attached C atom.

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