Tetra-kis[μ-N-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)acetamidato]-κ⁴N:O;κ⁴O:N-bis-[(benzo-nitrile-κN)rhodium(II)](Rh-Rh).

The title structure, [Rh₂(C₁₁H₁₄NO)₄(C₇H₅N)₂], contains a dinuclear Rh complex of point symmetry -4 with an Rh-Rh unit and two benzonitrile ligands located in special positions along the twofold axis passing through -4. Four symmetry-equivalent mesitylacetamidate ligands bridge the Rh-Rh unit. Thus, each Rh(II) atom has an approximately octa-hedral coordination by one Rh [Rh-Rh = 2.
