The structure of PF6 (Ph-DAB = 1,4-phenyl-diaza-1,3-butadiene) has been determined.The complex crystallizes in space group P21/n of the monoclinic system, with 4 formula units in a cell of dimensions: a 15.136(1), b 17.842(1), c 17.363(1) Angstroem, β 106.7(1) deg.The structural data were refined by full matrix least squares methods to a conventional R index of 0.073 based on those 3309 reflections having I0 > 3?(I0).The coordination polyhedron around the rhodium may be regarded as a distorted octahedron with two hydride hydrogen atoms in cis position and two phosphine ligands bent towards the hydrides, making an angle P1RhP2 of 159.4(1) deg.The Ph-DAB acts as a ?,?',N,N'-chelating ligand with a planar N=C-C=N skeleton in the same plane as the rhodium.The structure is consistent with the 1H, 13C and 31P NMR data.The reactions of the title compound with CO, IMe and MeOOCCCCOOMe has been investigated.In all cases evolution of H2 was observed.
