Description
Summary:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RhCl 2 (C 10 H 8 N 2 ) 2 ]ClO 4 , consists of one unit of the cationic complex [RhCl 2 (bipy) 2 ] + and one uncoordinated perchlorate anion. The Rh III atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two bipyridyl ligands and two Cl atoms, forming a distorted octahedral environment. The Cl ligands are cis . Two intramolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds occur in the cationic complex . In the crystal, molecules are linked together by a hydrogen-bond network involving the H atoms of bipyridyl rings and perchlorate anions. An O atom of the perchlorate anion is disordered over two sites, with an occupancy-factor ratio of 0.78 (3):0.22 (3).
