Reaction of [Rh(phen) 2 Cl 2 ]Cl (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) with the ligand 3,5‐bis(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazole (Hbpt) in H 2 O at pH 9 gives rise to the formation of a single stable compound. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis of this material reveals that in the product obtained an oxygen atom has been inserted between the Rh(phen) 2 moiety and the triazole ring of the bpt ligand yielding a compound of the type [Rh(phen) 2 (Obpt)](PF 6 ) 2 ·0.767CH 3 CN·0.28H 2 O. Insertion of oxygen in this manner has not been reported previously. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002)
