      Rhodammonium Hydroxide, Rh2(NH3) 10 (OH)6, is obtained by warming rhodammonium chloride with water and silver oxide, and evaporating the solution.
    • 1896, Thomas Edward Thorpe, The metals, page 399:
      When the ammoniacal compound is mixed with excess ammonia and the solution filtered and concentrated, a yellow salt is obtained, which, on treatment with water, loses ammonium chloride and forms rhodammonium trichloride, 10NH3Rh2Cl6.
