New rhodium(I) supramolecular structures containing pyridyl and bipyridyl ligands

The [RhCl(CO)2]2 compound has been used as acceptor unit in self-assembly reactions with different pyridine derivatives for the construction of mono-, bi- and three-dimensional novel rhodium(I) derivatives. It has been demonstrated that the size and length of the used ligand clearly determinate the structure of the final product.
