The following three dinuclear rhodium(II) monocarboxylates were synthesized and their structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: Rh2(o-CH3C6H5CO)4 (complex 1), Rh2(m-CH3C6H5COO)4 (complex 2), Rh2(p-CH3C6H5COO)4 (complex 3). All complexes formed lantern-like structures. It was revealed that complex 1 does not consist of pi-pi stackings, but both complex 2 and complex 3 do consist of pi-pi stackings and are constructed from one-dimensional micropores when viewed from the direction of the b axis and c axis, respectively. In addition, two methanol molecules that are used as their solvents are linked to the axial sites of these complexes. The Rh-Rh distance in complex 1 was 0.2390 nm, that in complex 2 was 0.2379 nm, and that in complex 3 was 0.2388 nm.
