Pentamminerhodium chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula [RhCl(NH3)5]Cl2. This yellow solid is an intermediate is the purification of rhodium from its ores. As shown by X-ray crystallography, the salt consists of the octahedral complex [RhCl(NH3)5]2+ and two chloride counterions.[1] It forms from the reaction of rhodium trichloride and ammonia in ethanol.[2]
