title: Di-μ-iodido-bis-[acet-yl(4-methyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo-[2.2.2]octa-ne)(N-nitroso-N-oxidoaniline-κO,O')rhodium(III)].
abstract: The title compound, [Rh(2)(C(6)H(5)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(2)H(3)O)(2)I(2)(C(5)H(9)O(3)P)(2)], contains a binuclear centrosymmetric Rh(III) dimer bridged by iodide anions, with respective Rh⋯Rh and I⋯I distances of 4.1437 (5) and 3.9144 (5) Å. The Rh(III) atom is in a distorted octa-hedral RhCI(2)O(2)P coordination with considerably different Rh-I distances to the bridging iodide anions. There are no classical hydrogen-bonding inter-actions observed for this complex.
