(4-Butyl-1-ethyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-idene)[(1,2,5,6-η)-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene](tri-phenyl-phosphane)rhodium(I) tetra-fluorido-borate.

ABSTRACT: In the title triazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene rhodium(I) cationic complex with a tetra-fluorido-borate counter-anion, [Rh(C₈H₁₂)(C₈H₁₅N₃)(C₁₈H₁₅P)]BF₄, which crystallizes with two cations and two anions in the asymmetric unit, the Rh center has a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with expected bond distances. Several nonclassical C-H⋯F hydrogen-bonding inter-actions help to consolidate the packing. Two of the F atoms of one of the anions are disordered over adjacent sites in a 0.814 (4):0.186 (4) ratio.
