A series of homoleptic cations of Rh(I,II), Rh(II), and Rh(III) have been synthesized and characterized in the solid-state and in solution. Three new dinuclear compounds of dirhodium(II,II) were prepared by treatment of Rh2(O2CCH3)4(L)2 with Et3OBF4 or Me3Si(CF3SO3) in acetonitrile or propionitrile. The cations in [Rh2II,II(MeCN)10][BF4]4 (1), [Rh2II,II(MeCN)10][SO3CF3]4 (2), and [Rh2II,II(EtCN)10][BF4]4 (3) contain eight equatorial RCN groups oriented in an approximately square planar arrangement around the two Rh atoms and two axial RCN molecules. The redox properties of 1−3 were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, which revealed the presence of one or two irreversible reduction(s) but no oxidations. Although there was no electrochemical evidence for an accessible oxidation, it was found that treatment of [Rh2II,II(MeCN)10][BF4]4 with NOBF4 occurs to yield another member of the homoleptic acetonitrile family, namely, the octahedral d6 cation [RhIII(MeCN)6][BF4]3, (4). The corresponding one-electron redu...
