Coordination complexes of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium chloride with fullerene C60 in different reduction states have been obtained in crystalline forms. Reduction of {Cp*RhIII(μ-Cl)Cl}2 dimer in the presence of C60 by excess NaBPh4 yields binuclear complex [{Cp*RhII(μ-Cl)}2(η2,η2-C60)]·C6H14 (1) in which two Cp*Rh units bridged by two μ-Cl anions are coordinated to two 6–6 bonds of C60 belonging to one hexagon. No essential charge transfer from metal to C60 is observed in 1. Complex 1 is EPR-silent most probably due to strong antiferromagnetic coupling of RhII through the μ-Cl and fullerene bridges. Interaction of (Bu4N+)(C60•–) and (Bu4N+){VIVO(Pc•3–)}•– salts with {Cp*RhIII(μ-Cl)Cl2}2 yields anionic (Bu4N+){Cp*RhCl(η2-C60)}−·0.75C6H4Cl2 complex (2) in which only one Cp*RhCl fragment is coordinated to the 6–6 bond of C60. According to magnetic measurements, the {Cp*RhICl(η2-C60)}− anions in 2 contain diamagnetic RhI and neutral η2-C60 at low temperatures (T < 120 K). Above this temperature, charge transfer (CT) from RhI to η2-C60 is realized with the formation of paramagnetic negatively charged η2-C60 and RhII species. This process is accompanied by the appearance of two broad EPR signals with g1 = 2.0353 and the line width ΔH = 38.2 mT and g2 = 2.3149, and ΔH = 37.0 mT at room temperature whose integral intensities increase with temperature. Estimated activation energy of CT is 473 ± 7 K. Effective magnetic moment of 2 also increases with temperature, attaining 2.16 μB at 300 K. This value is intermediate between 1.73 and 2.45 μB, which is characteristic of systems with one and two noninteracting S = 1/2 spins, respectively.
