Abstract: Abstract RhCl3·3H2O reacted with Na2dmit (dmit2−; 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate anion) and [NBu4nOH in methanol to afford [NBu4n][Rh(dmit)2] (1) and [NBu4n]1.5[Rh(dmit)2] (2). Salt 1 was oxidized electrochemically in acetonitrile to afford [NBu4n]0.4[Rh(dmit)2] (3). Suspended powders of 1 or 2 reacted with iodine in hexane to afford [NBu4n][Rh(dmit)2][I3]1.3 (4) or [NBu4n]1.5[Rh(dmit)2[I3]0.4 (5). On the other hand, 1 dissolved in acetonitrile, reacted with bromine and iodine to yield [NBu4n]0.25[Rh(dmit)2Br] (6) and [NBu4n]0.35[Rh(dm...
