1H, 13C, 15N NMR and IR Spectroscopic Studies of a Rh(II) Complex of Thiourea |
| |
| Abstract: | A rhodium(II) complex of thiourea (Tu), Rh2(OAc)4Tu2, has been prepared from Rh2(OAc)4(H2O)2 and characterized. A shift of the ν(N?H) vibration towards higher frequencies in the IR spectrum is consistent with sulfur coordination to rhodium(II). 13C NMR spectra recorded in DMSO-d 6 reveal that thiourea is replaced by DMSO-d 6 solvent, followed by replacement of acetate ions by free thiourea. 15N NMR indicates some nitrogen involvement in coordination to form an S?N chelate. |
