cis-Di(mu-trifluoroacetate)dirhodium tetracarbonyl: structure and chemistry

The dirhodium(I) complex Rh-2(mu -O2CCF3)(2)(CO)(4) has been prepared by reduction of Rh-2(mu -O2CCF3)(4) with CO in the vapor phase and its crystal structure reveals a polymeric nature with dinuclear molecules aligned along the metal-metal axis.
