(Chlorido/bromido)[(1,2,5,6-η)-cyclo­octa-1,5-diene](4-isopropyl-1-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl­idene)rhodium(I)

ABSTRACT: The RhI atom in the title compound has a distorted square-planar coordination environment, defined by a bidentate cyclo­octa-1,5-diene (COD) ligand, an N-heterocyclic carbene and a chloride ligand with bromide substitutional disorder. A new triazole-based neutral RhI complex, [Rh(Cl0.846Br0.154)(C6H11N3)(C8H12)], has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The RhI atom has a distorted square-planar coordination environment, formed by a bidentate cyclo­octa-1,5-diene (COD) ligand, an N-heterocyclic carbene and a halide ligand that shows substitutional disorder (Cl:Br = 0.846:0.154). No significant inter­molecular inter­actions other than van der Waals forces are found in the crystal structure. Diffraction data indicated a two-component inversion twin with a ratio of 0.95 (5):0.05 (
