Synthesis and structures of a pincer-type rhodium(III) complex : Reactivity toward biomolecules
A novel rhodium(iii) complex [RhIII(H2LtBu)Cl3] (1) (H2LtBu = 2,6-bis(5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine) containing a pincer type, tridentate nitrogen-donor chelate system was synthesized. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis revealed that 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with a = 20.7982(6), b = 10.8952(4), c = 10.9832(4) Å, V = 2488.80(15) Å3, and eight molecules in the
