About putting some things in comments. I am going to revert them back after I can figure this article out more.
The dimerization of ethylene and the O2-Rh-py thing is interesting. And Rh(IV) too. The organic applications are huge obviously. Actually, I am not absolutely, absolutely sure that anhydrous RhCl3 is useless, but I have heard horror stories of students who order 100g of this stuff and it does nothing. The monographs are a little vague. Also on the exact speciation of RhCl3 in water.Smokefoot 16:22, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
All that I can find on the Cl(py)4RhOORh(py)4Cl] cation is Addison, A. W.; Gillard, R. D. and Vaughan, D. H., "Polarography of some rhodium(III) complexes", Journal of the Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions: Inorganic Chemistry (1972-1999), 1973, 1187-93. This came up in SciFinder.

- The refs given in Greenwood & Earnshaw are nos. 17 & 18 on p1127, the discussion on superoxide complexes of Co(III), Rh(III). The specific ref for this complex is NSA Edwards, IJ Ellison, RD Gillard & B Mile, Polyhedron, 12, 371-4 (1993). They also mention JCS Chem Commun 851-3 (1992) as a general ref.

"Rhodium is not an essential element, so it can be assumed to be unhealthy."
I am removing this statement, as it makes an incorrect conclusion. For example, strontium is non-essential, but its compounds are non-toxic. --Pyrochem 01:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
