Abstract

The title rhodium Vaskatype complex, trans-[RhCl{P(C ₆H ₁₁) ₂(C ₆H ₄-4-C ₃H ₇) ₂}2(CO)], crystallizes with an accompanying acetone solvent molecule. The metal atom shows a distorted squareplanar coordination environment with selected important geometrical parameters of Rh - P = 2.3237 (6) and 2.3253 (6) Å, Rh - Cl = 2.3724 (6) Å, Rh - C = 1.802 (2) Å, P - Rh - P = 173.42 (2)° and Cl - Rh - C = 179.13 (7)°. Effective cone angles for the two P atoms are 165 and 161°, respectively. Both isopropyl groups and the acetone molecule are disordered with occupancy values of 0.523 (5):0.477 (5), 0.554 (8):0.446 (8) and 0.735 (4):0.265 (4), respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl contacts.
