Organo-Rhodium Complex with Tridentate Biradical Ligand, [Rh(Cp*)(bisnitpy)](PF6)2

A new Rh(III) complex, [Rh(Cp*)(bisnitpy)](PF6)2 (Cp* = η5-C5Me5 and bisnitpy = 2,6-bis(1′-oxyl-3′-oxido-4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyl-4′,5′-dihydro-1′H-imidazol-2′-yl)pyridine), has been prepared, which is the first example of organometallic complex having nitronyl nitroxide ligand. X-ray structure and magnetic property of the title complex are reported.
