Structure and dynamical properties of Rh4(CO)12 in solution: 13C nuclear magnetic resonance study

Abstract

Rh₄(CO)₁₂ has been shown by ¹³C n.m.r. to have the same structure in solution as in the crystal, and the changes in line shape as a function of temperature are consistent with a CO scrambling mechanism which has the fully symmetric (T_d) structure as an intermediate.
