Abstract: The complex [Rh(NH3)6](NO3)3 (I) has been synthesized, and its crystal structure has been determined for the first time. The syntheses of double complex salts (DCS) [Rh(NH3)6][NbO(C2O4)3]·4H2O (II) and [Rh(NH3)6]2[(μ2-C2O4)(VO(C2O4)2)2]·6H2O (III) were carried out. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR, UV-Vis (III), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (III), and EPR (III). Thermal decomposition of DCS II and III in inert and reducing atmospheres was studied. Thermal decomposition of [Rh(NH3)6][NbO(C2O4)3]·4H2O (II) in a hydrogen atmosphere resulted in the formation of the bimetallic solid solution Rh0.83Nb0.17 and NbO2, while in the case of [Rh(NH3)6]2[(μ2-C2O4)(VO(C2O4)2)2]·6H2O (III), a phase with the structure of intermetallic Rh3V and V2O3 was formed. The photocatalytic activity of thermolysis products in Rh–Nb and Rh–V systems was tested in the process of hydrogen production. The Rh–Nb/g-C3N4 catalyst showed a H2 evolution rate of about 0.69 mmol h−1 gcat−1 and Rh–Nb/TiO2 catalysts showed about 0.29 mmol h−1 gcat−1 under 410 nm irradiation.
