More Information on the [&Lambda -&alpha -[Rh[(R,R)-Me2trien]phi]3+ Ion
This is the &Lambda isomer of the [&alpha -[Rh[(R,R)-Me2trien]phi]3+ ion shown with all muliple bonds.
Phi is the abbreviation for the 9,10-phenanthrenequinone diimine ligand. It is neutral and does not deprotonated when it binds. The second ligand abbreviated (R,R)-Me2trien for the (2R,9R)-diamino-4,7-diazadecane ligand is tetradentate. It is also neutral and does not deprotonate when it binds. The overall complex carries a 3+ charge from the central Rh(III) ion.
