Pentamminechlororhodium dichloride is the dichloride salt of the coordination complex [RhCl(NH
3)
5]2+. It is a yellow, water-soluble solid. The salt is an intermediate in the purification of rhodium from its ores.
As shown by X-ray crystallography, the salt consists of the octahedral complex [RhCl(NH
3)
5]2+ and two chloride counterions.[1] It forms from the reaction of rhodium trichloride and ammonia in ethanol.[2] Two chloride anions are labile, whereas the coordinated chloride ligand is not.
Treatment of [RhCl(NH
3)
5]Cl
2 with zinc dust in the presence of ammonia gives the hydride complex [RhH(NH3)5]2+.[2][3]
