Bis[(1,2,5,6-η)-1,5-cyclooctadiene]-di-μ-ethoxo-dirhodium(I)

The solvent-free title compound, [Rh₂(C₂H₅O)₂(C₈H₁₂)₂], was obtained by reaction of [(cod)Rh(OH)]₂ (cod is cyclooctadiene) with Ti(OC₂H₅)₄. The coordination of the Rh atoms is essentially square planar. The Rh and O atoms form a folded four-membered ring.
