[(1,2,5,6-η)-Cyclo­octa-1,5-diene](1-ethyl-3-isopropyl-1,3-imidazol-2-yl­idene)(tri­phenyl­phosphane)rhodium(I) tetra­fluorido­borate

ABSTRACT: The cationic complex of the title compound contains an RhI atom with a pseudo-square planar coordination environment. It is ligated by an N-heterocyclic carbene, a triphenylphosphane, and a bidentate cylco­octa­diene ligand. Charge balance is achieved from an out-sphere tetra­fluorido­borate anion. A new N-heterocyclic cationic rhodium(I) complex with a tetra­fluorido­borate counter-anion, [Rh(C8H14N2)(C8H12)(C18H15P)]BF4, has been prepared and structurally characterized. The cationic complex exhibits a distorted square-planar environment around the rhodium(I) ion. Two connections are made from rhodium(I) to the carbon atom of an N-heterocylic carbene ligand and to the phospho­rus atom of a tri­phenyl­phosphane ligand. The remaining two coordination sites are made via a bidentate inter­act
