Crystal Structure and Gas Adsorption Property of Rhodium(II) Benzoate Pyrazine

Abstract

Abstract The structure of a linear chain complex [Rh(II)2(O2CPh)4(pyz)]∞ was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The solid indicates nitrogen adsorption on a microporous medium although the crystal does not seem to have a microporous structure. There is a high possibility that the structure changes to open the crystal packing for gas molecules.
