Abstract: The title complex, [Rh(C₈H₁₂)(C₉H₁₆N₂O₂)(H₂O)](BF₄) or [RhL(COD)(H₂O)](BF₄), is a monomer in the solid state. The Rh^I centre is in a square-planar arrangement. The four coordination sites are occupied by the N atom of the pyrazole ligand, the O atom from a water molecule and the centroids of the two cyclooctadiene olefin bonds. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecule and the two O atoms of the ether groups of the pyrazole ligand and one of the F atoms of the BF₄ unit.
