A Rhodium(I) complex, [Rh(cod)Cl]2, was synthesized and characterized by the elemental analysis, infrared absorption spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffractometer, accurately determine its structure, and its thermal decomposition characteristics were characterized by TG-TDA. Its crystal belongs to monoclinic space group P21/n, and its unit cell parameters are a=0.72848(4) nm, b=2.51434(14) nm, c=0.88794(5) nm, β=91.0450(10)°, V=1.62612(16) nm3, R1=0.0235, wR2=0.0580. Its molecular structure is that two Rh(I) with two Cl- and two 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) ligands form a dinuclear chloride bridge compound. TG-TDA results showed that the peak decomposition temperature was 225℃. |
