Neutral and Cationic Rhodium(III) Complexes with Tridentate Bis(benzimidazole)amine Ligands

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structures of bis(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)methylamine (L) and N,N-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)methylamine (Me₂L) are described; mono- and bis-ligand rhodium(III) complexes of L and Me₂L are prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, conductometric measurements, NMR and IR spectroscopy.
