Abstract : |
A rhodium(II) complex of thiourea (Tu), Rh-2(OAc)(4)Tu(2), has been prepared from Rh-2(OAC)(4)(H2O)(2) and characterized. A shift of the nu(N-H) vibration towards higher frequencies in the IR spectrum is consistent with sulfur coordination to rhodium(II). C-13 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. N-15 NMR indicates some nitrogen involvement in coordination to form an S-N chelate., |
