(Acetyl-acetonato-κ(2)O,O')carbon-yl[tris-(4-chloro-phen-yl)phosphane-κP]rhodium(I).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Rh(C(5)H(7)O(2))(C(18)H(12)Cl(3)P)(CO)], contains the bidentate acetyl-acetonate ligand coordinated to the Rh(I) atom, forming a chelate ring [Rh-O = 2.0327 (15) and 2.0613 (14) Å]. The Rh(I) atom is additionally coordinated by one P [Rh-P = 2.2281 (6) Å] and one carbonyl C [Rh-C = 1.812 (2) Å] atom, resulting in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The mol-ecules are packed to minimize steric hindrance with the phosphanes positioned above and below the slightly distorted square geometrical plane.
