Abstract

In the title compound, [RhCl ₃(C ₁₂H ₁₂N ₂O)]·CH2Cl2, the Rh ^III atom shows a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry being coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom from the 2,2′-(oxydimethanedi-yl)dipyridine ligand and three Cl atoms. Two Cl atoms adopt a trans arrangement to the two pyridyl N atoms, while the third Cl atom and the O atoms occupy the axial site. The Rh - Cl bonds that are trans to the pyridyl N atoms are slightly longer than the Rh - Cl bond distance trans to the O atom.
