Abstract

The spectroscopic and photochrornic properties of the dinuclear rhodium complex Rh2L10X4 (L = CH3CN, X- = BF4-) have been studied in acetonitrile solution. A reversible wavelength-dependent photoredox disproportionation of the dark-equilibrated dirhodium(II) compound occurs upon irradiation with quantum yields of phi = 0.04 at 254 nm and phi = 0.60 at 436 nm, respectively. While the photolysis products show conspicuous aggregation phenomena at higher concentrations, a straightforward pseudo-bimolecular recombination of the metastable fragments following second-order kinetics was observed in 5 x 10(-5) M solution with k = 0.18 l mol(-1) s(-1) at 295 K. Both spectroscopic and kinetic results are consistent with the heterolytic formation of mononuclear rhodium(l) and rhodium(III) acetonitrile complexes in the course of the photochemical reaction.
