Dichlorotetrakis(pyridine)rhodium(III) chloride is the chloride salt of the coordination complex with the formula [RhCl2(pyridine)4]+. Various hydrates are known, but all are yellow solids. The tetrahydrate initially crystallizes from water.[1] The tetrahydrate converts to the monohydrate upon vacuum drying at 100 °C.
