Bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-κ(2)N,N')dichlorido-rhodium(III) perchlorate.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RhCl(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]ClO(4), consists of one unit of the cationic complex [RhCl(2)(bipy)(2)](+) and one uncoordinated perchlorate anion. The Rh(III) atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two bipyridyl ligands and two Cl atoms, forming a distorted octa-hedral environment. The Cl ligands are cis. Two intramolecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds occur in the cationic complex . In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked together by a hydrogen-bond network involving the H atoms of bipyridyl rings and perchlorate anions. An O atom of the perchlorate anion is disordered over two sites, with an occupancy-factor ratio of 0.78 (3):0.22 (3).
