The crystal data are: I, a = 10.860(3) Å, b = 7.795(2) Å, c = 9.023(3) Å; β = 111.56(10)°, P2₁/c space group, Z = 4, d _x = 1.875 g/cm³; II, a = 6.593(2) Å, b = 8.309(3) Å, c = 11.922(4) Å, α = 83.55(10)°, β = 79.80(10)°, γ = 75.38(10)°, P \(\bar 1\) space group, Z = 2, d _x = 2.106 g/cm³; III, a = 6.533(2) Å, b = 16.391(4) Å, c = 12.411(3) Å; β = 98.30(10)°, P2₁/c space group, Z = 4, d _x = 2.749 g/cm³. The compounds are examined by IR spectroscopy and powder XRD. The solubility of the isolated crystalline phases in water decreases in the following order: trans-[Rh(en)₂Cl₂]Cl₂·H₅O₂ > trans-[Rh(en)₂Cl₂]ClO₄ > trans-[Rh(en)₂Cl₂]ReO₄.
