Abstract

The title compound, trans-[RhCl(C18H12Cl 3P)2(CO)]·C3H6O, contains an Rh(I) atom in a distorted square-planar coordination with a P - Rh - P angle of 175.27 (2)° and Rh - P bond lengths of 2.3127 (4) and 2.3219 (4) Å. The rhodium complexes link each other through weak inter-molecular contacts between the acetone methyl groups and the carbonyl O atom. Inter-actions between the acetone solvent mol-ecule and the Cl - Rh unit results in a reduced P - Rh - Cl angle of 86.675 (15)°.
