cis-Tetrakis(μ-N-phenylacetamidato)-κ4N:O;κ4O:N-bis[(benzonitrile-κN)rhodium(II)](Rh—Rh)

The complex molecule of the title compound, [Rh2{N(C6H5)COCH3}4(C6H5CN)2], exhibits crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry. The four acetamide ligands bridging the dirhodium core are arranged in a 2,2-cis manner, with two N atoms and two O atoms coordinating to the unique RhII atom cis to one a...
