Rhodium wires based on binuclear acetate-bridged complexes

The synthesis, properties, structure and conductivity of a new class of one-dimensional, mixed valence Rh(I)–Rh(II) complexes {Rh2(u-O2CMe)2(N-N)2][BX4]}n (N-N=bipyridine, phenanthroline; X=F, Ph) are described.The generous financial support from KBN (grant No. 3 T09A 034 15) and DGES (Project PB98-0641) and a visiting Professorship (to F.P.P.) are gratefully acknowledged.Peer reviewe
