Abstract—Characteristic features of the interaction of iridium and rhodium chloride and chlorostannate com-
plexes with N-(2,6-dimethyl-4-methylenetriphenylphosphonium chloride)phenyl-N'-propylthiourea groups
covalently fixed on the silica gel surface were studied. Comparison of the sorption isolation of rhodium and
iridium by silicas with N-(2,6-dimethyl-4-methylenetriphenylphosphonium chloride)phenyl-N'-propylthiourea
and N-allyl-N'-propylthiourea groups has shown that, at room temperature, the reaction proceeds by an anion
exchange mechanism. At higher temperatures or during storage, rearrangement takes place on the sorbent sur-
face, resulting in the migration of the metal ion from the anion exchange group to be coordinated to the sulfur
atom of the thiourea fragment.
