Abstract: | Crystal Structure of Tris(N,N-Diethyl-N′-benzoylthioureato) Rhodium(III) Rh(C12H15N2OS)3 crystallizes in the trigonal space group P-3. The cell parameters are a = 16.660(2), c = 8.479(1) Å and Z = 2. The structure was solved with Patterson and direct methods and refined to a final R-value of 7.05%. RhIII is octahedrally coordinated to three N,N-Diethyl-N′ -benzoylthiourea molecules, which are bidentately coordinated through their oxygen and sulfur atoms. The Rh? S and Rh? O bond lengths are 2.284 Å and 2.033 Å, respectively. |
