Abstract: The title compound, [RhCl{P(OC₈H₉)₃}₂(CO)], where P(OC₈H₉)₃ is tris(2,6-dimethylphenyl)phosphite, crystallizes with two independent molecules, both disordered over inversion centres. The Rh1-P1 and Rh2-P2 bond distances are 2.3097  (7) and 2.2995  (7)  Å, respectively. The effective cone angle for the phosphite ligands was calculated as 182°.
