Abstract
A dirhodium paddlewheel compound which has a Rh25+ core enveloped by four guaninate ligands was prepared. The ligand itself was incorporated into paddlewheel compounds of eleven different metal atoms. Considering the instability the tetraacetate precursor, compound 1 is remarkably stable in crystalline form and remains unchanges after exposure to air for several days. In THF solution the brownish color changes rapidly to purple because of axial coordination by solvent molecules.
