Reaction of [Cp*M(μ-Cl)Cl]2 (Cp*=η5- (C5Me5), MRh, Ir) with 4′-phenyl-2,2′: 6′, 2″ terpyridine (Ph-terpy), L 1 and 1,4-bis (2,2′: 6′, 2″-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzene (diterpy), L 2 results in the formation of cationic complexes by the cleavage of halide bridge. These complexes, [Cp*RhL 1Cl]BF4, (1), [ (Cp*RhCl)2L 2] (BF4)2, (2), [Cp*IrL 1Cl]BF4, (3) and [ (Cp*IrCl)2L 2] (BF4)2, (4) are characterised by various spectral methods. Ph-terpy coordinates the metal ion in a bidentate fashion to form mononuclear complexes while diterpy bridges two metal ions to form dinuclear complexes. Complex (1) is crystallographically characterised. In solution Rh (III) complexes show fluxional behavior.
