The Association Constants for Three [Rh2(N{C6H5}COCH3]4 Isomers with Varying Mole Ratios of Imidazole
Abstract
Dirhodium complexes are catalytic agents used in many synthetic reactions but their mode of binding is not completely understood. Solutions containing 2,2-cis, 2,2-trans, and 3,1 [Rh2(N{C6H5}COCH3)4 isomers and with varying mole ratios of imidazole were analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The association constants for 2,2-cis and 3,1 isomer were determined and analyzed. The 2,2-trans had concentration changes due to evaporation that prevented the association constant from being calculated.
